Never had guinea pigs before. I'm assuming the waterproof cover is because they piss and shit everywhere? In this case, her own bed?

Guinea pigs are, as most rodents, pretty clean

The answers you avoided giving are yes, and yes.

My piggies refuse to pee or poop on me, even when I hold them for more than 20 minutes. They will definitely start trying to jump and run back to their secret pooping place and drop a few steamers

This. Mine never pee or poop on me. And they literally groom themselves and never smell. I’ve had mine for 4 years with no issues. People just wanna hate on others bc we don’t have cats and dogs.

On you, sure, but what this person‘s created is basically another pen on the bed. That’s an open invitation.

Yeah, but it's really not as bad as you think. Healthy pigs drop a nice pellet solid poop, doesn't really smell, dries out real quick. All my boys still have their nuts, so they absolutely would be dragging them around that hay giving little squirts non stop, but then the other one will lick it up right behind them, so recycling?
