Is it true that once files are deleted from the recycling bin (or “trash” via Mac), they remain stored somewhere on a hard drive? If so, wouldn’t this still fill up space?
If you can fully delete them, are the files actually destroyed in a sense?

They don’t go anywhere, the computer simply forgets where it is! The files and folders are then eventually overwritten when the computer rewrites over those sectors.
