Does an open source keyboard exist for iOS that respect your privacy?

Does apple get what you type on the keyboard in their servers?

Apple and privacy does not come hand in hand.

Apple have their own eco system that are fully closed source. If you want to install apps from another place than from AppStore and if you don't live in EU, good luck.

If you want privacy, choose a custom ROM of Android that respects your privacy (like GrapheneOS) or (better yet) choose Linux. But to be honest, Android from Google (no custom ROM) do have better privacy options compared to iOS, mainly thanks to being able to installing and using apps with no Google account whatsoever.

And to answer your second question: Is your phone’s keyboard compromising your privacy?
