I think it is a local spider. This quote is the only clear indication that they actually spider themselves. There are lots of implicit statements as well.

Correct, wayback has implemented remote and local archiving of various types of resources, including HTML, PDF, HAR, WARC, Readability (Markdown and Txt), and media files such as images, videos, and audio.
