That is the smallest scale of self hosting. The server and the client are the same device. It is also the most insecure way as you probably don’t have any backups and very limited storage space.
Actually self hosting is the next step when you decide you want 5+ TB of data and have it automatically create backups. Digital storage media degrade pretty quickly and if you just have your movies on a hard drive in your computer, after 5-10 years you might start to lose quality or some files completely.
While true, neither backups nor checksums are exclusive to hosting anything.
