SQL server database normally resides on its own server system. Client applications merely need the SQL libraries which allow them to connect to the server.

No, the database engine is required to be able to access sql. This means you need sql server installed somewhere on a network. None of your clients will need to install it, they can all point to the same installation if they are on the same network.
