Am I right in thinking that the bridging in Matrix/Riot isn't the same
as various IRC/Telegram channels have where messages are sent between
them? It seems to be a simple case of making the IRC channels
available through matrix/riot so you can see both native Matrix
channels and non-native ones.
Not really, a Matrix client can only speak the matrix protocol. So when you
join an IRC channel from a matrix client, you are joining a normal Matrix
"room" that happens to be bridged with IRC on the server side. For example,
if you upload a picture in that channel a Matrix user will see the picture
while an IRC user will see a normal IRC message with a link to that
picture.
