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.
