Both.

The Static Map server constructs a single image of the map you
request, including any lines and markers required. For that to work,
it needs to be able to get any markers you specify. Google won't be
able to reach a marker on your intranet.

This isn't explicitly set out in the documentation, although it does
mention a "valid" URL. Intranet URLs are not valid in an internet
context.
