Indeed, the rule of thumb is that you're taxed in your country of residency. Even US citizens get taxed in the country of residency, except that they need to do a US federal tax return in addition to their local tax return.

Of course to declare a job in your residency country you'll need a work visa, and I think it will be very difficult (impossible?) to obtain one in most countries if you don't have a local job. Long story short, I think people working abroad remotely with a company in their home country are either (1) on a spouse visa of (2) breaking the immigration laws of their residency country.
