Another Bonding vs Grounding Question

I did a search on Bonding, but it seemed most of the posts are several years old.
I was upgrading my pool equipment for a IG fiberglass pool, and verified the appropriate bonding circuit, but noticed the bonding wire is also connected to the grounding pole. Is this correct? Is the bonding wire terminated anywhere, or is it basically a wire loop that connects all the equipment, metal bits, deck reinforcement mesh, etc., together, but not connected to anything outside of this loop?

Bond wire should be connected to anything metal 5' or less from the pool or equipment. I've had an inspector insist on attaching to metal downspouts that were at the equipment pad.
