This page should make it more clear that:

a) you don't need to install solr separately if you chose to install it with CF during CF installation

b) you could install it separately (using this info) on the same server as CF if you simply want to achieve what that installer option would ahve done

c) you could install it separately (using this info) on another server, to achieve some separation (or might want to enable distributed Solr processing across multiple instances of Solr)

d) and that whether B or C, you would then go into the CF Admin>Data & Services >Solr Server page to configure CF to point to whatever Solr instance you have installed it (if you want to use the built-in CF tags for Solr processing. If you want to use CFHTTP to manually talk to a Solr instance, then this CF Admin configuration would not apply.)
