So if the ATP synthase is on the inner membrane, is H+ coming from inTER or inTRA cristae space? I want to say inter, because intra cristae space iirc is the matrix.

Protons are constantly being pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space through the ETC. The potential energy that is created due to their electrochemical gradient allows them to power ATP synthase.
