[or that's just what they want us to believe ]
Yep
OMP stands for Open Mobile Platform (in Russian — Otkrytaya Mobilnaya Platforma) and at the same time for weapon of mass destruction (in Russian — Oruzhie Massovogo Porazheniya).

What is also interesting, INOI (in Russian Inoy or иной) can be translated as '(an)other', 'different', 'not like others'. That's how they emphasise difference from android and ios devices, I believe.

And for sure that controversial passage has the opposite meaning in the original. So, correct translation is: Unlike iOS and Android, the platform stores the user's personal data in the smartphone and do not send it to the foreign servers.
