No. What Craig is saying is that you much structure you connection
string as though you are connecting to a remote server even if you are
not.

IB allows both local and remote connections. You can only have a local
connection when the app an the IB Server service are running on the
same machine. For a local connection you just use the path to the
database file as the connection string. For example:

c:\db\mydb.ib

For a remote connection you must specify the name of the machine where
the IB Server service is running as well as the local path to the
database on that machine. For example:

testserver:c:\db\mydb.ib

where testserver is the name of the machine. What Craig is saying is
that you _must_ use a remote connection string even if IB is running on
the Terminal Services machine. You can either use the actual machine
name or you can use the name "localhost" (without the quotes).
