Skype for Business Virtualization pack offloads the audio and video to the end-point devices from the VDI's. So does this mean that the calls hence will use the local machine's internet? Or will it continue using the VDI's internet. Please explain!

Please explain as to what internet the virtualization pack utilizes for end-point to end-point communication.

VDI desktop will need access to the skype for business servers (internet). The Horizon client, more specifically the Horizon media provider, will transmit only audio and video traffic to the other user or server. If the A/V is an external source then that means internet access.
