i disagree with this theory. very interesting idea though. i do think that salem is one of 2 things either a body snatcher like ozpin or immortal since grimm dont exactly age and it appears she has more in common with a grimm then a human this would make sense.

the problem with the theory of her being a body snatcher is that ozpin is on as a result of a curse from the old gods. not only that but he resides in a body of a soul that shares commonalities with his. which would mean there has to be someone like that for her. and while its proven theres evil in the world i dont know if anyone would be kindred to her soul. thus i find it more likely she is immortal.

also while yes shes hunting the maidens. that doesnt neccesarily mean she intends cinder to absorb them all. cinder can barely manage one currently after the blow from ruby rose. this is due in great part to the fact that cinder is only able to have the fall maidens abilities thanks to some sort of parasite type grimm. if she were to lose control over that grimm i think its safe to say she could lose the fall maidens powers.

all that said i do beleive salems ultimate goal is in fact to absorb all the maidens powers. if she can get the parasite grimm to hold all the powers and she in fact controls grimm as though a queen bee. then she would have an easier time gaining the powers and controling them. which basically means shes using cinder fall for her own ends and means. and will rip the power from her when the time is right. along with potentially 3 others.
