The Visual Studio Development Server is a web server that runs locally on Windows operating systems. As with IIS Express, it is specifically built to run ASP.NET on the local computer. It will not serve requests to another computer. Additionally, it will not serve files that are outside the application scope.
Visual Studio lets you test with different web servers, including IIS Express, Internet Information Services (IIS), External Hosts, or Custom Web Servers. You can use any of these web servers with a file-based web application project.
The "Visual Studio Development Server" is no longer available in Visual Studio 2015, it has been replaced by IIS Express (as you see in your screenshot). This is not the same as installing the version of IIS that comes with Windows. But functions almost identically, so your development/testing environment is much closer to what it would [likely] look like in production.
