I would like to know what is the meaning of "as is the fact" in the following text:
Yet, exactly what is the nature of this containment relation between
our experiences, on the one hand, and what we believe, on the other,
that is missing in the one case but present in the other? The nature
of the experience-belief relation seems quite similar in each. The
causal relation between the experience that triggers our belief that P
and our belief that P is contingent, as is the fact that the
belief-forming process is reliable.
The meaning of "as is" is "in the state something is in at the present time" according to the Cambridge Dictionary. So, according to this meaning, its meaning will become something like this:
" ... and our belief that P is contingent in the fact the that belief-forming proess is reliable" So, the resultant sentence will be something like this:
"The causal relation between these two matters(as in the ) in the mentioned fact is reliable"
Is it correct?

I think you are parsing this incorrectly. The meaning of "as is" here is "same as". "A is blue, as is B." means "A is blue, same as B (is blue)." In the quoted passage, the causal relation [...] is contingent, and likewise the fact that [...] is also contingent.
