webmaster,

I sent the invite to the transfer-bot from the Yahoo Group I am
transferring a couple of hours ago. Is the acceptance fully automated?

No. The invitation acceptance is not automated because accepting them requires solving a CAPTCHA.

Also, due to the backlog of groups attempting to transfer, and to some limits at Yahoo, the invitations are not accepted immediately. Rather that is deferred until your group is closer to the front of the queue.

I just don't know if this is a normal healthy delay, or if in fact the
Yahoo Groups invite did not go out.

You should be able to see your request's current status by selecting the Yahoo Group name in the "In Process" droplist down at the bottom right of the Transfer instructions page:
/yahootransfer

As of right now, I have no transfer-bot in
my Yahoo Group so I can't begin to transfer us over.

When the Invitation is accepted you should receive a message at the email address you use to log into Groups.io

Subject: "Steps to transfer..."
From: Easy Group Transfer <[email protected]>.

That's in addition to any "Joined" message you may receive from Yahoo.

Note that due to the backlog there will also likely be some time between when you've promoted the transfer agent, and clicked the "Go" button on the In Process page, and when the transfer will actually be underway. In a very large group (lots of messages & other content) it could also take quite a while for all the content to be collected.
