I exported my cloud Firestore database to a cloud storage but, I can’t verify it will be able to use as a backup since data looks encrypted. My question is, will I be able to decrypt somehow or am only limited to GCP processes to decrypt the data in case I need it as a back up

The data is not encrypted, it's just serialized in a special format. You can take those exports, copy them around, and re-import them from a different bucket to a different database. You will have to use one of the documented methods here or here, else figure out how to parse the data yourself (which is not documented, but they are probably protobufs).
