oh no. you are 100% correct.
Frankenmountain, or, Sir Robert Strong. (fun fact: in book 3, Joffrey demands Robb Stark's head be sent to Kings Landing. we know Robb Stark's head was indeed chopped off and replaced with Greywind's head, but we never hear of Robb's head again. its possible that it arrived after Joffrey died and Qyburn scoops it up for his project. Stark in german, roughly translates to strong. hence, Sir Robert Strong)
i dont think they own dragonstone or storms end. i think they simply have a promise that Stannis will honor the debt accumulated by King Robert, and King Joffrey. its more of a way for the iron bank to cover all bets, and ensure they get repaid.

I did mean ANOTHER world, not a world away. It would seem the only collateral or security the IB takes is the threat of overthrow through their chosen stalking horse - and Stannis was the wrong horse. In-book, the Lannisters are attempting to take Dragonstone and Storm's End, I expect the show will do likewise, if they even bother.
I doubt the IB will take on a meaningful role, other than serve as pesky annoyance and a shift in geography for story. But, they're going to take a beating on Stannis debit unless they convince Lannisters to role it onto their ledger. What an insult.
