But this will be triggered only while uploading to iCloud, so if you are not using iCloud for photos the algorithm will never run? Or that’s why I understood.

For now, the next step is to do on device scanning with fuzzy hashes whatever that means.

Correct, Apple confirmed this hash-matching is only for their own iCloud Photos service (and appears to be designed with that service in mind).
