As far as I understand things, 'localhost' is just another way of saying
'127.0.0.1' meaning 'this computer', so - yes, localhost is defined.
I have an SSH connection defined in PuTTY that associates my local 10443
with the host system's 10443, and I start that connection before attempting
to go to https://localhost:10443 in my browser (Opera).
I'm quite happy to be shown any error in my understanding, however.

But you've sparked off another train of thought, Lloyd.
Whilst it's true I get to my z/OSMF with 'https://localhost:10443/zosmf',
the very first thing I see is a warning that the connection is not secure
and I have to click on 'continue anyway' in order to get to the z/OSMF
sign-on screen.
I think I've got to sort out *that* problem before trying to go any further.

Regards
Sean
