(I don't use this feature personally, but based on my reading of the
.service file:)

Assuming your setup has the two files
  /etc/openvpn/server/server.conf
and
  /etc/openvpn/server/serverlocal.conf

(and that the openvpn-server@.service file on your system is not too
different than the one in the Focal package)... then yes, the
openvpn-server@.service covers both of your service instances.

Basically when you try to start the "openvpn-server@serverlocal"
service, systemd uses the "openvpn-server@.service" file with a
parameter of "serverlocal" (which is then substituted in for the "%i"
specifier within the .service file).

(You can read more about this functionality by searching for the word
"template" in the systemd.unit man page....)
