This will probably sound stupid but will 8psi on say a 5.3 make the same power as a different turbo but same 5.3 and 8psi?

Nope.
Big slow mud truck with a TUNE!!!!!!
That's actually not a stupid question. Go on pt.net and they have a very interesting post about psi vs turbo size. Worth the read
Slowest in Oklahoma...
add volume too

A turbo is like a fingerprint, no 2x are the same. Hence the different results each will yield

I've read a lot about turboing engines, it seems more about cfm than psi, am I right?

You are definitely on the right track about that, but it must be a perfect blend of both CFM/PSI. You can't just go and cram 35psi down your motors throat without the CFM to back it up. You can't have one without the other

Is cfm constant or does it vary any on a turbo?
A motor is a big air compressor! The more air u get in an push out the better everything works. If it flows the more power you will make. That's all it come too! Air in air out!
