When you upload an image in the URL bar when creating a post, where does it go? Are they hosted on the respective Instance of the community?

If you tend to upload images/memes etc., yes, it's a good idea. And very cheap (read: free) if you go with Cloudflare R2..

I've never used CF for object storage, I personally use Backblaze B2, it's pricing is extremely fair. If anyone needs object storage, it is something to consider, I am not sure how it compares to cloudflare though. There unfortunately isn't much documentation on config vars for object storage on lemmy/pict-rs I am still looking into this.
