If you don't explicitly set a DNS to allow access from outside the local network, all your stuff is private and confined within your local network. As it is with all, let's say, wifi stuff that goes on in your home.
I think you mean explicitly open the port on your router, but even then that’s not true. Plex by default will proxy your traffic so that even closed off servers can be reached. It is pretty easy to disable remote access in the server settings though.
