Yes and no. Blossom uses a SHA256 content hash, so content has a unique ID across the network.

Users can publish which servers they use, so you know where to look for a users content alternatively.

It does not magically solve the storage of the content "somewhere on the internet" though. A user must actively publish his content to multiple servers to get censorship resistance and might need to pay for it.

That being said there are links between servers, so if a piece of content is missing it could be automatically fetched from an upstream server.

Yes IPFS computes a hash, even though it's a bit involved so the hash won't be the same as Blossom's or what sha256sum tells you.

Lack of a DHT is a big one. IPFS's DHT is what they claim makes it scale ("interplanetary" lol) but it's poorly designed and doesn't actually scale well. You'll find lots of timeouts and "content not found" even though the content it out there somewhere.
