Again, the shared version of the image is not stored on your iCloud space.
Once it has been copied into the camera roll or a regular album, it is stored on your space.
Copies of photos in albums are not stored twice. the actual photo only exists on your camera roll. or the all photos album.
A photo in an album is just a reference to that photo on the camera roll.

Shared album is does not count against my storage. If I save an image from the shared Family album to my camera roll, would this count against storage twice, since we both would have the same image on our phones?
Any shared albums for Apple photos are hosted on Apple provided storage and does not count against your storage.
