I want to create a Jenkins job that starts other Jenkins jobs. That would be quite easy, because Jenkins Template Project Plugin allows us to create a build step of a type "use builders from another project". However, what makes my situation harder is that I have to start Jenkins jobs on other machines. Is there any standard way to do that?

In case you want only to trigger new build of Job You Have plenty of ways to accomplish it
you can use remote access API and Trigger a request to build target job from source Job.
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
Or you can use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Remote+Trigger+Plugin
which is handy in handling server details and other stuff. you shoukld ensure ssh keys shared by both servers.
