If you don't have localhost set up to send email then probably yes, it won't send.
If you want to check that Joomla sends email generally, go back to the global configuration - email settings and click the button to send the test email message. The system should tell you if it succeeded or failed and so if that succeeds one can assume the contact form should too. But as you say this may well be because you're on localhost and don't have a mail server set up.
I don't use the contact form, so don't know what type of feedback you get - at a minimum I would expect a "thank you, your email has been sent" message, but I don't know for sure.
