Protonmail holds your key encrypted on the server. The key could be encrypted+decrypted by pin or by password.

Does Proton (or Meta) see that Pin or password, or is it client-side only (as far as we know)?
Client side. The client downloads the encrypted key backup and decrypts it using user-entered pin/password.
