It's an example host name, so pls replace it with the real one. If you
don't care which host is meant, i.e. if you want the same setting for
all remote machines, you could shorten the specification to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          (connection-local-set-profiles
           '(:application tramp)
           'my-dired-profile)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

No, connection-local variables are not meant for the local machine. Here
the default value of the variable is used.
