If all the data is on a SQL server, and I designed the SSIS packages on my local PC, where does processing happen on the server or the my PC,...what I am trying to ask, must I remote to the server and run the packages from there

If you run the package on your PC then it is remotely accessing the data. SSIS is a service that is installed on your PC, if it was not installed you would not be able to execute the SSIS package on your PC.

To run a package on a server the packge must exist on the server. It can be scheduled through SQL Agent or run manually which logged on to the remote server.

It's a client app so runs on the machine it is executed on.
Actually the package di=oesn't need to exist on the server to run there - you just need to execute the dtexec command on that server - it can load the package from anywhere.

When you debug the package in BI studio it doesn't need the server installed - when you deploy and run it the machine that it is executed on does need the licence and run time installed.

? Why does SSIS need a sql server licence and why is it distributed with sql server?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
