In that, you are right. As long as the matching group is Private on the TgM side, the messages are not really gated anywhere and just remain on your BBS.  So the bot is not really gate in the traditional sense.  It's just a facilitator to use Telegram as a reader not unlike someone would prefer to use QWK or a newsreader from an nntp feed.
