Because it's in solrconfig.xml, it applies per Solr core. You haven't said whether you're running SolrCloud, where a collection is a specific kind of entity separate from a core. A typical collection in a production SolrCloud system usually has at least one shard and at least two replicas. If you multiply that out, you'll usually have at least two cores per collection, and they'll normally be on separate Solr instances, which will also normally be on separate hosts. Ideally you'll make sure they are on separate physical hardware, even if there's virtualization involved. If you're not running SolrCloud, then "collection" doesn't have any specific meaning ... although the core that exists in the main example is called "collection1" which can lead to a little bit of confusion.
