Yes, it's for the VNC Sever.
The explanation is, that due to the port forwarding performed
by SSH, the actual (could say physical) connection to
the VNC Server is done from the SSH server. As Neal says,
both SSH Server and VNC Server run on the same machine.
Therefore the connection is a local connection from the
point of view of VNC server.
Did this help to unconfuse you? :-)
