Yes, but the common case for mpd usage is that the daemon and client run
on the same machine.
I don't have hard statistics, but from my own involvement with the MPD
community for the past 11 months or so; users run mpd-clients and mpd
itself from the same machine roughly 80-90% of the time. I've even
talked to several users who didn't even know about the remote
capabilities of mpd 
On a sidenote:
The TCP/IP networking capabilities help me a LOT when I'm working with
several machines in a room, with _one_ of them playing music, but I
can adjust playback, and add songs to the playlist from any of them
without going back to the one running the daemon.
