You hit the nail on the head for each one. My thoughts exactly. Especially serverless, though, as we already did serverless back in our day: it was called P2P and helped start a revolution. What they're describing don't look like no P2P to me. :)

Exactly, if your definition of serverless != decentralized I don't know what you are talking about.

I could see them cheating with embedded cards saying they're not physically servers. HYRDA did that (me too) for security/efficiency purposes:

It was a little PCI card. Even so, I'd ask the marketer or developer: could you please draw a logical representation of your client and services with lines showing data flows? Followed by (points) "there's the server(s)." :)
DevOps has as many different definitions as practitioners, and few will completely agree on the same definition.
Cloud is one of the worst frankly, because it is so hand-wavy and it's made it into every day language. My assumption is that this name came from the 'cloud' icon used in a lot of technical diagrams to represent something outside of your control and outside of your scope for the current project. I guess in some ways that makes "Cloud" the perfect term to describe things like AWS/et-al: something that is out of your control.
