This has been a feature since at least 2012 on every Android I’ve tested and it never required google. Pixels can’t be that far behind. Since it’s advertising Google, I bet the recording feature is sending it straight to the cloud before or after writing the file locally (or writing it straight to google drive).

It explicitly says the recordings stay on my device.
But yeah, if it didn’t say that, I’d guess the same.
I dont trust a word Google says regarding privacy.
Then why do you have to agree to Google’s ToS to use it if it’s local only?
Probably a line about how they’re not liable if you record in a place where recording isn’t allowed.
