Is there any public third party BlueSky storage server yet? Last time I tried setting up an account there it only showed the main instance despite all the fuss about decentralization. Or am I grossly misunderstanding how different it is from the fediverse?

theres also a critical 'relay' component required that so far only Bluesky runs, so not-so-federated.

there is no such thing as a 100% independent bluesky install to which people can attach also independent nodes (PDS).

As far as I know, there aren't any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn't trust them for the same reason I wouldn't use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it's decentralized.
I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.
