According to the arch wiki at point 2. :
The proxy supports remote DNS resolution: use socks5h://localhost:9050 for DNS resolution from the exit node (instead of socks5 for a local DNS resolution).
what exactly is meant by local DNS resolution?
Is this resolving for the local cache? or is this from my local machine sending out a DNS query to the DNS server?

local means the DNS server that is configured on your computer (in "/etc/resolv.conf" or "resolvectl") is queried outside of the tor socks proxy, or whatever resources your computer uses to resolve DNS queries (e.g. mDNS). Whether your system uses a cache is not relevant here.
