... say I check out some code, do a little dev or refactoring or whatever .. do I only check it back in when I'm completely happy? ... what if I change my mind about stuff while i'm coding? can I go back to a previous local version? is there a history of my local development?
Is version control about deployment history or development history?

Version control, also known as source control, is the practice of tracking and managing changes to software code. Version control systems are software tools that help software teams manage changes to source code over time.
The types of VCS are: Local Version Control System. Centralized Version Control System. Distributed Version Control System.
The purpose of version control is to allow software teams track changes to the code, while enhancing communication and collaboration between team members. Version control facilitates a continuous, simple way to develop software.
A version control system records changes to files stored in the system. These files can be source code, assets, or other documents that might be part of a software development project. Teams make changes in groups called commits or revisions.
Short answer. It's both.
You need to be able to roll back to earlier versions for lots of reasons.
