Por mi parte, muy poco me preocupa que.....

I understand this means, "I could care less that...."

Is the verb preocupa in the 3rd person present because of "it" being the subject? As in "it doeesn't bother me....?

In Spanish classes they always talk about the 3rd person being "he/she/you(formal)" but not about it. This is because in Spanish "it" is always masculine or feminine. I think of the 3rd person as "he/she/it/you(formal)".

"I couldn't care less".

Direct translation: As for me, it worries/concerns me very little that...

I believe your understanding is correct.
