Om is certainly regarded as the greatest Mantra and all that is stated in the question.
It is so regarded in the Vedas as well as Upanishads.
It can be practised as a japa by any one interested in it, and its meaning can be understood from the Mandukya Upanishad; but usually it is effective when received from a competent Guru who transmits the power and the real significance of the Mantra to the initiate in the measure of the latter's capacity to receive, to begin with.
There is something in the sound and arrangement of the syllables of the Mantra which are woven into its very texture which cannot be rendered in any other tongue. With this provision the general meaning of the Mantra is to be grasped.
