1.) they said they would appeal but we'll see either way the appeal is pretty meaningless, its just a delay tactic
2.) no you dont have that right, if SCOTUS decided it was up to the states they would have took the case and said the fed overreached and let the states make the choice.
Instead what happened is SCOTUS agrees with the lower feds that have already ruled, it was in fact that states that clearly overreached and stepped on individual rights and freedom and the state bans that were ruled unconstitutional stay that way and it basically let another so many states in the door, see above.
SO the result is the lower rulings of the bans being unconstitutional stays in place and 11 more states could now open up. Well 11 from the stays that were in place etc
5 were immediately affected Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Utah, next 6 are North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming
