The build will pull a copy down to your instance, so yes they are stored, and you will need to keep them up-to-date on the /admin/upgrade screen.

Christoph’s suggestion is a good one. Get a GitHub account, fork the plugin you like, create additional language text and once completely happy, submit a pull request to add it to the original project.
