Can I publish an event into Cloud Pub/Sub outside from GCP?

Let me clarify my query a bit. In AWS as we are able to publish events into SNS topics directly by invoking REST API via API Gateway from the non-cloud client (https://github.com/cdk-patterns/serverless/blob/master/the-big-fan/README.md), is there any such method in GCP to publish an event into Pub/Sub?

I can see there is a similar question in SO (Acces Google Pub/Sub from outside of GCP), but it is not fully answered my question I believe. Yes authentication is required and it is a cross-cutting functionality, but what is the basic technic to publish an event in Pub/Sub outside from GCP

Yes, you can publish a message into a topic, and then pull it, or even have PubSub deliver it to you through a Push subscription.

When publishing a message, or pulling it from a subscriber, you can access PubSub through the REST or RPC API. In addition, you can use one of the client libraries.

Here you can find an example of how to publish a message using the gcloud CLI tool, an example with the REST API, python and java among other programming languages.

As mentioned in the question referenced, you will need to authenticate in order to either publish a message, or pull it. You can use the quickstart as a reference on how to do so. Notice that you can follow the quickstart from any computer or VM outside GCP.

Finally, if you're using Push subscriptions to receive your messages, your endpoint will need to be a publicly accessible HTTPS address and have a valid SSL certificate signed by a certificate authority. Again, this endpoint can live outside GCP.
