"When two people with the app bump phones, the sensor readings are sent to the Paypal servers where the algorithm listens to bumps happening all over the world and matches the two phones that felt the same movement."

Correct me if I'm wrong but if they're using Bump's API, aren't the Bump servers the ones doing the algorithmic matching and not the Paypal servers?

Correct, the Bump servers are doing the matching.
