Kinda. Kinda not. Moment to moment AI is peer to peer hosted, maybe your Xbox is host or maybe someone else's is but physics and AI will always be on someone's Xbox within your bubble. Other things like did a new wave of enemies spawn or did a public event start are hosted on Bungie's servers. It let them keep PvP type fluidity while still allowing for complex high level stuff to be tracked by the dedicated servers. And it scales really well because the dedicated part only needs to care about objectives and stuff while player Xboxes handle the precise positioning and gameplay.
