My understanding is that any carbs that aren’t used for energy are converted and stored as fat. Hypothetically, could a human just survive off of protein and a lot of carbs?

Body fat is not the same as dietary fat even though they are both called fat.
If you consume more calories than you burn, the excess consumption is converted and stored as body fat. No matter what you eat, if it is excess calories it will get converted and stored as body fat although the conversion process is slightly different based on the macro.
Dietary fats are essential to give your body energy, support body functions, protect your organs and produce important hormones.
