The BuddyCloud [0] project also came up with a standard proposal. Is this related to that work ?

Not at all. ActivityPub comes from pump.io, which was based on the experiences with OStatus.

BuddyCloud is a parallel track to OStatus, possibly inspired by the OStatus predecessor OpenMicroBlogging, but I don't know that. Both tracks came about around the same time a decade ago.
