it being powers of 2 is side effect of fundamental of bitmask which is in binary

00000000 this is nothing
00100000 this is 64

does Ghost count as a phase?

I believe being dead had its own special handling, not a phase.
Lots of resources on Google to help understand how a bitmask works, but yes every power of 2 is a unique phase. 32 unique phases because it's a 32 bit integer that stores the phase for the object

i would say adding decimal versions to bitmask makes it more confusing.....u just get 32 bits in int32 so its stream of 32 zeros then u select which of them u want (meaning it will be 1 at that position) and then resulting decimal number is just what is made out of those bits

Depends how tech literate you are

i think it would be always simpler to be explained as binary
