> Every card remembers every rating you give it, as well as the time / date. This allows for Anki to solve for a 'forgetting curve', and predict when different cards have a chance to be forgotten.

True to a point; every card has its ratings, but the "forgetting curve" algo of FSRS is only tuned to the deck (or "option set") that the card is in, not per card.

The entire FSRS parameter set (~20+ parameters, depending on FSRS version) is per deck.

Each card is tuned to... 2 parameters IIRC? f(Difficulty, Stability, Time) == Retrievability. Time is just time so its not really a parameter, but Difficulty and Stability is solved on a per-card basis.
