"enmasse-queue-2ps8x" in this case is the service Instance object, which 
is indeed added to "My Project", but the infrastructure created by the 
broker is in a different namespace (could also be in a completely 
different cluster). The idea of the Service Catalog is to give users the 
ability to self-provision black box services, but a broker could also 
provision the services in the same namespace, allowing the user access 
to the internals of a service (white box).

The namespace in which a service instance is created is now passed to 
the broker, so we could create the MaaS infrastructure in that same 
namespace. But, do you really want/need that?
