Basic answer, yes. If you copied and pasted the example html, then the url parameter references "labels.xml", which would have to reside in the same directory as where you saved the html file. Also, don't forget that you also need the jquery file it references as well.
So to more succinctly answer you question. You will need to have three files in your local directory. 1) The html file. 2) The jquery file (named jquery.js in that example) 3) The xml file (named labels.xml) That should solve your problem.
