The central claim of Russell's "logical atomism" is that
{ 1 } - the world is all that is the case.
{ 2 } - we can get down, at least in theory, to the ultimate simples out of which the world is built.
{ 3 } - all truth claims are either analytic or empirical.
{ 4 } - everything that exists in ultimately composed of matter.

Russell sees these simples as having a kind of reality not belonging to anything else.

Russell regards matter as a logical fiction -- a way of talking about sense experiences. So he doesn't see matter as one of the ultimate simples out of which the world is built.
