Meaningless with the algorithm being hosted on a cloud server and maintained by Beijing.

Maybe I'm ootl, is it confirmed somewhere that will be the case?

The current plan would be for ByteDance to create a duplicate copy of the TikTok algorithm, which then would be leased to a new joint venture controlled by a U.S. investor group led by Andreessen Horowitz, Silver Lake, and Oracle.

Jokes aside, Andreessen Horowitz and Oracle are the aforementioned cloud service providers. Using them was the compromise China came up as opposed to otherwise having to centralizing on US shores. Until I'm proven otherwise after it's online, China will still have full access and control over the systems, still harvesting and compromising sensitive data to send to Beijing and still manipulating a huge portion of Americans.
