Hi there,


Yes, be reassured. Apple iCloud and Google Photos are two different services.

Google Support says: ‘Just to let you know that if a photo is synced to Google Photos that means they are backed up to the Google Cloud. Deleting them from your device gallery/iCloud wouldn't delete the backed up copy in the Google Cloud.
