Does the "fact" that light takes this period to travel here constitute a length of time, or a length of space?
Both, because the speed of light is a constant so you can determine distance from it. It's just like looking at your stop watch when you're driving on cruise control going 60/MPH down the highway for 4 minutes... you know that you've gone 4 miles.
