This makes me wonder, does the "hey Siri" recognition happen on the phone or on their servers?

No, it's 100% local. Even ignoring the privacy concerns of uploading everything you say, it would simply use too much data.

You also need to opt-in: it's turned off by default and can be enabled by going to Settings > General > Siri > Allow "Hey Siri."
