I’m looking at the official docs but I’m a bit confused. I want to install Lemmy on a VPS but the fourth bullet point in the documentation says:

“Install Ansible on your local machine (do not install it on your destination server).”

And then the Install instructions start going about how to install it.

If Ansible is on my local machine how am I supposed to use it to install Lemmy on a VPS?

ansible will run locally and connect to any remote machine. Your local host is the staging ground for rollouts with ansible.
