Yes, local accounts are those that exist - are/have logged in - on the same console, whether created there or elsewhere.
The Playstation Plus subscription is tied to the SEN account, but that account can specify a single PS4 console as its primary PS4, which enables other (non-PS+) accounts to access everything on the console.
So any account using that console (the one specified as the primary by at least 1 PS+ subsriber) can enjoy the benefits of PS+, when using that console. That includes multiplayer.
I assume though that multiplayer is not available to local accounts if you are online and playing multiplayer on someone else's console. That part isn't exactly clear. But your (non-PS+)family members / housemates could definitely play multiplayer on your console with only your PS+ subscription when you're not using it.

When you sign into your Sony Entertainment Network on a friend’s PS4
the system is temporarily activated on your account. Please ensure
that you correctly sign-out of “PSN” on your friend’s system to keep
your account secure.
If your “PSN” account is inactive on your friend’s PS4, the system
will be deactivated automatically from your account and your friend
will lose access to any of your downloaded content. This content can
