we run 365 in a commercial environment, and yes it gives you the ability to install the office 2013 applications locally (works just like Office 2010), I know in our environment we have five installs per licence, but not sure how many per retail licence. It also gives you the ability to use the online apps, usefull if you are ever using a borrowed PC without the apps installed locally.
It also gives you cloud storage, however the choice as to where you store your data is yours. You can store your data on One Drive (microsoft's cloud storage option), on your local drive, or you can set it up to replicate between both (stored locally, backed up to One Drive).
