I am getting very confused. Can I use a purchased theme for [wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org)?
Or is that only available on [wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com)?
I want to buy a theme but I can’t tell if it will work for my new [wordpress.org]) website. I just configured the hosting/domain.
I want to buy this theme [https://wpastra.com/])

yes you can upload any theme you want, after purchase you will receive a .zip file which you can then simply upload in the dashboard via. (yourwebsite.com/wp-admin) or alternatively via FTP if wordpress.org allows this
[wordpress.org]) is self-hosted and you can use any theme from the official repository and also bought themes. Astra is a freemium theme. You can install the free version very easily through the dashboard of your self-hosted site. If I remember correctly, Astra Premium is a companion plugin that you install on top of the free version.
As a rule of thumb, .org gives you more flexibility than .com
