The kettle doesn’t have whitish looking residue though. It’s spotty specks of grey that leaves chalky white powder on my finger when I wipe them, is that still limestone?

Yup. It takes a minute for the scale to build up on the metal.

Maybe the kettle has some kind of non-sticking internal surface?
Yes, that sounds like limescale.

Limescale from the tap, or a dirty dish with limescale.
Either way it's harmless.
This is why water softeners, aka soft water is a thing in many US homes.
