This is a remote helper meant to interact with a git repo hosted on Dropbox - it runs entirely on the client side - there's no special git-specific code that the Dropbox servers run. Correct, you're not expected to leave the working directory in a Dropbox folder. In fact, that's a bad idea (for the reasons explained in the blog post / readme). It's also recommended to selective sync out the repository directory so the desktop client doesn't touch the files at all.
