Local database is for SQL Server Compact (CE) files, this is a database engine that runs in-process with the application.
Service-based databases are run by a database service such as Sql Server or Sql Server Express in local or remote computer. The application connect to and interact with this service and does not host the database itself.
VB Express IDE/designers is limited to only connect to local database files/services, but for service based database you can develop the application locally and just change the connection string later to connect to a remote database service.
