Well blockquote isn't supposed to be used for the sole purpose of indenting text, but rather quoting blocks of it. So in that you're not wrong in that they're not equivalent to a div tag.
From what I can see on their tutorial, AO3 does allow div tags, just maybe not styling them directly. Which is what you were doing using the style attribute in the tag.
Rather you should use classes to style your flashback div. Here's an exemple:
<div class="flashback">Replace this text with your flashback.</div>
You'll need to create a worksin, into wihich you'll define the style associated with the .flashback class like so:
.flashback {
margin-left: 40px;
}
Once that's saved and done, you can pick that work skin for your work and you'll be in business :)
