The current gas costs are for all nodes to process a transaction or contract function call. Once we have sharding, only a subset on the nodes(1 shard) will process that transaction/contract function call. So is it safe to assume that gas costs will basically be current gas costs/total number of shards?

Sure, assuming total tx's stay the same, then it will be something like current gas price / shards. I would assume that total tx's will increase however, when sharding goes into effect.

But yes, overall, as a scaling solution, sharding is meant to decrease load on each individual node, and decrease gas prices.

The gas price will tend to be lower since more transactions can be processed per second, while with efficiency improvements such as EWasm and a two layer account trie inside a single trie and a more efficient blob serialization mechanism, the gas limit can increase.
