Do I get this right.

Servo is the experimental browser (engine?)?

Quantum is the project that ports parts of Servo to Firefox over time?

Quantum is now also a bit of an umbrella project for initiatives making Firefox faster. "Quantum Flow", for example, is an engine-wide effort to push performance in the bits that still C++.

Right. Servo is an engine that will be embeddable into apps that need to render HTML, not just browsers.

Yeah, exactly. It doesn't include a JS engine so for now it uses SpiderMonkey, but eventually you should be able to plug others in.
