I figured out the answer. The code to be used is as follows :

$objects = $StorageService->objects;
$postbody = array('data' => file_get_contents('buc.jpg'));
$gso = new Google_StorageObject();
$gso->setName('mybuc');
$resp = $objects->insert('mybucket', $gso ,$postbody);
print_r($resp);

and then it works .. I was not setting the parameter "data" in an array to be passed as a third parameter of the function. I Found out and it worked.

Buckets share a global namespace. You have to create your bucket before storing objects in it, and "mybucket" is not an available name.

If you go to the GCS browser at https://storage.cloud.google.com/, you can create your bucket there and then reference the existing bucket in your PHP code.

I had to add uploadType to get it to work as mentioned here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/insert

$postbody = array('uploadType' => 'media', 'data' => file_get_contents('buc.jpg'));

Where is the data parameter documented?
