It does happen on the host (I think). That reminds me of another advantage of hosting a network printer on the Mac. Even if the printer does require a dedicated print driver, to the rest of the network - including Windows computers -it's seen as a generic PostScript printer and the Mac takes care of the translation.

Raspberry Pi with debian and cups does the same job. Macs use cups too, they just use different stack for the pdf rasterization step.

I'm using it to network-share an older Samsung printer that has only USB port.
