Does a company's 10-Q show up on EDGAR exactly when they release

First, a point of clarification. An earnings release is not a 10-Q (and vice versa).
An earnings release is just that. A news article intended for the general public. It contains only highly level information such as revenue, net earnings and earnings per share. It is not an SEC filing. Generally speaking (but not always), the earnings release precedes the SEC filing.
An SEC filing, in contrast, is not an earnings release, although it's primary purpose is to communicate financial results to investors (and potential investors) on a quarterly basis. The scope of a 10-Q is far more comprehensive than an earnings release, which is typically only one page of abbreviated information. In addition to full blown financial statements with their accompanying footnotes, it also includes the Management Discussion and Analysis, which is management's presentation of period over period results and a discussion of fluctuation.
But to answer your question, as soon as a 10-Q is submitted to the SEC, it takes but only a few minutes to process and can be accessed by the general public, via their EDGAR database.

There should be no delay in the 10-Q showing up on Edgar when the company release earnings. In some ways they mean the same thing. The previous poster is right in mentioning that sometimes a company will release an 8-K earlier because they have to report a "Significant Event" but they don't have to be concurrent, that would be redundant. Companies files an 8-K when they have something important happen between earnings cycles.

No.
Actually the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requirement about an earnings release is that you need to file an 8-K with it. But maybe the best way to explain it is this way (this is a bit simplified but its pretty much accurate):
The Form 10-Q needs to be on file either 40 or 45 days after the end of a reporting company's fiscal quarter (the difference being whether one is an accelerated filer).
Many companies choose to do an earnings release earlier than that, however. If they do an earnings release earlier than that, they need to file an 8-K. That's why you see many companies, prior to 40 or 45 days out, do an earnings release, do an 8-K and then later do a Form 10-Q. However, if they are ready to file their Q when they do their earnings release, they can also choose to do it.
There is no per se rule in the SEC regs, I believe, about when you have to do your earnings call, but for most companies you do have to do one pursuant to the listing requirements of the exchange you are on. For instance, if your company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, look at 203.02 of the listed company manual.
