When Cinder shot Amber, she didn't turn to dust/ashes. I've seen a lot of theories going around that similarly to her arrow reforming behind Pyrrha's shield, that Cinder did the same and sent her somewhere else, possibly to Salem I think her arrow only reformed because of her semblance/power. Her natural semblance may be the ability to create glass, seeing how she is able to conjure the shards against Amber, the twin blades, and arrows.

And in my opinion, I don't think that people who die in Remnant turn to dust. It seems kind of unnecessary to the plot. The only other person who we've seen to die on camera is Amber. We didn't see what happened after, but i doubt that she disentagrated in the pod. Ruby said in Episode 8 (volume 2) that Cinder fought with glass but didn't think it was her semblance, which could well be untrue (It's highly unlikely that Ruby knows everything about semblances and what they each look like) Glynda indicates that she recognised the woman from Episode 1 (volume 1) by Ruby's description, but also says "save for the glass", stating that during their fight, Cinder's use of glass was not apparent enough to be noticed by a trained Huntress. Whether this was because she simply did not notice, because Cinder did not yet use glass whilst fighting, or she did not use any during that fight, I can't say for sure. I still think Cinder's semblance has to do with glass, superheating material and cooling it to create obsidian (volcanic glass) which she can easily control.

I think that her bow and arrows are made from obsidian, hence her ability to seemingly pull them from this air. She would be able to create her weapons from surrounding materials, and would also explain how she was able to reform her arrow around Pyrrha's shield.

Though Grimm seem to disintegrate after death, I don't think people turn to dust when they die either. Cinder turns Glynda's 'snake rocks' to ash in the Episode 1 fight, and I think that's related to what happened to Pyrrha. It isn't implausible that Pyrrha has been transferred to another location, but in my opinion I think that she was incinerated.
