    No, I believe they are saying one 5mb photo file is duplicated per device it’s saved on, meaning 3 devices with the same photo will cost you 15mb of drive storage instead of just the 5mb it’s supposed to.

      Saving is optional - you don’t have to save a photo to be able to browse it. And yes, browsing it will take some storage space as well since the app has to download, cache and render the image somehow but that’s true for any device and just the way it works.
