It all depends on how you implement it. He describes the text from images as using machine learning, which implies using an external API to do that translation.

It doesn't. You can have local models.
Yes, it doesn't have to be the author's storage. Many, many apps implement it as adding the data to your Google Drive / Dropbox / whatever.

Remember I said "It all depends on how you implement it".
