I have custom-ordered an indoor panel for the kitchen. In my specification, I said I wanted the same surface finish as the typical beaded paneling that is used in the same way... So the question is what the surface finish on this is??
I've got a planed surface, and it doesn't feel at all like it's the same as a "regular" indoor panel—shouldn't it be sanded???

Well, beadboard is always planed. It is the planer blade that gives the profile. This also applies to practically all other indoor lumber like flooring and moldings. It is always planed. However, a well-planed surface should be so smooth that it hardly needs sanding.
What gives the finish is probably linoljefärgen, or possibly, if you want to be a bit fancier, äggoljetemperan.
And naturally, the wood should be planed.
But what does Arne999 actually mean by "slipad"? Sanded down?

Ok.. the difference probably lies in how well they've planed it... there's quite a big difference between this panel and a regular finished panel, especially around the knots where the beadboard is as smooth and fine as can be... hence why I thought they sanded the surface after planing.
Yep, matted down so it can be painted well + you can remove some small planing marks.
Differences arise from timber quality and how the panel has been planed (including the sharpness of the blades). The final finish must be done by yourself as preferences for the surface can vary. If, for example, you want an untreated wood surface, planing is the only option, as sanding the surface will make it like a sponge that absorbs dirt.
