And it needs to be accessible to a machine running the guacamole server network wise. VNC/RDP is fairly trivial to install, not true of guacamole. So normally machine A is running the guacamole server, it can connect to machines B, C, and D which are running VNC / RDP. And someone connects to A from E using a browser, and can then view B / C / D. If you (a) had network connectivity from E to C, and (b) had vnc-client software installed on E, you could access C from E without guacamole. But (a) and (b) are often not true and (a) is sometimes insurmountable, so guacamole is useful. My Docker container makes A and B the same machine, running a VNC server as well as guacamole. Which is probably typical of people using guacamole to access their personal desktops via the web, but guacamole is designed to provide a gateway to whole offices / institutes of machines, not just one.
