Of course it's self hosting. The term "self hosting" just means being in control of the service or host yourself, as opposed to that being controlled by a third party.
It doesn't mean the hardware has to be in your house. It just so happens that that is the majority preference, because people value privacy, and are often hosting private data.
As much as I dislike Apple, this can only be a good thing. Hopefully other companies will follow suit, and we'll eventually look back and frown at how our electrical accessories were wrapped in bits of skin
