Is my understanding correct that all your CAD data is stored in Autodesk cloud servers if you are using Fusion 360?

Yes. I don't really mind this though, as I can export my STEP files (or the full f3d project file, but I rarely ever need to do this).

I hop between multiple computers in my workflow. I do most design on a desktop in my house, and then use the less powerful shop computer to run the CNC or have references up. The auto-syncing of project files "in the cloud" is pretty useful there (in a way that an e.g. sync'd dropbox folder would be clunky to use)

With the free hobbyist version at least, yes that's correct. You can export the files however.
