Is that true? I didn’t realise this.

Yep that's how all these federated services work. Your instance can only show you stuff it already knows about, so someone needs to have been first to find and follow it.

Yep. I host my own instance, and /all is essentially the same as /subscribed for me, plus a few posts that I've pulled manually by clicking links.
