No, it is not.
Bluesky is not part of the ActivityPub network, any more than are Twitter or Facebook.

I could actually kinda-sorta-maybe get behind a bridge like this, IF IT WAS OPT IN. This is not opt in. It does not even respect flags that say hoovering up a Mastodon person's or instance's data is OK with that person or that instance.

I don’t know.
If it can connect or be bridged then is it not “the network”?
Not sure that there’s anything special about ActivityPub. To the point that it seems dangerous to emphasise a formal/nominative distinction rather than a functional one. Ie, the issue should be more about what the protocol does rather than its name.
If mechanics are effectively the same then bsky is really just a big instance no?
