CVS is not a distributed VC system (a.k.a. "dVCS"). It keeps the
history in only one place: on the server. When you checkout a
repository, you don't get the history, only the working tree.
Whenever you invoke any command that needs to consult the history,
like "cvs log" or "cvs diff", the CVS client communicates with the
server to get that info.
The history files are stored on the server, which is why you don't see
them on the client.
