I think I assumed that "Enabled" meant that email I sent, which was addressed to one of my domains added to my Polarismail account, would be delivered locally (i.e., automatically to Polarismail). If "Disabled", then your system would look up the current MX server for the recipient domain and send it there even if it were not Polarismail. Did I guess incorrectly?

You did
Local Delivery means that a copy of your e-mail gets stored in your mailbox, on our servers.
Local Delivery gets disabled automatically by other processes such as Vacation Message or various Incoming Rules since it would cause dual delivery of messages. Most of the times you don't have to touch it, unless you have a specific requirement.
