This is about making your own personal instance of a microblog that’s ActivityPub enabled. It’s much lighter than running Mastodon that’s mean to be a hosting platform for a lot of users.
Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
Nope, everyone blindly trusts AWS/Crimeflare/etc. to MITM all their traffic, storage and servers and never happen to do anything bad or leak any data. One day it’s going to bite everyone in the ass.
Even when you use AWS’s encryption feature for the VM itself, they hold the keys for you.
It’s really up to you how you set up your server and the datastore. This has nothing to do with Hollo. Again, there’s no difference between this and running a Mastodon server that will also need infrastructure like a db to back it.

No, it means you run your own VPS to host your personal blog.
