Federated means that different servers can talk to each other and decentralized means that there is no server.

There is also nothing stopping someone from using the Matrix protocol to create another service, though I don't know of one that exists.

    and decentralised means there is no server

    no, it means there's no central server. You still need a Matrix server to handle communications, but there's no "central matrix server", the servers discover each other based on a baked-in "known good" server list + ad-hoc discovery (e.g. if a server has a group chat with a member of a server your server doesn't know yet, and you join that group chat, your server and the unknown one exchange metadata and so on).
