web2py applications require a server to run but it comes with it. If you run it on 127.0.0.1:8000 (the default) the application is basically private since it cannot be accessed from the network.
I do not think there is any distinction any more from a desktop app and a web app. Whether you use web2py with or without pyjamas, you can use web2py to develop desktop application. The only caveat is that the visual side of your app will be handled by the browser.
