does this mean i can store google or email authentication data in all these instead of appwrite's database?
TL;DR
Title: Using a different database for authentication data in Appwrite
Message: Yes, you can use a different database for storing authentication data in Appwrite instead of Appwrite's built-in database. Appwrite supports using any MySQL or compatible database as its backend. This allows you to store Google or email authentication data in a different database if desired.

These are options to act as the backend for the Appwrite Storage service - that is, when you upload a file to Storage, where it actually lives

You can technically have Appwrite use any MySQL (or compatible, eg MariaDB) database as its backend.

But could I just ask, what would be your usecase for using Appwrite Auth, but storing the auth data outside of Appwrite?
