Perhaps unintuitively, the "local size" of the matrix represents the dimensions of the vectors that the matrix can be used with, not the ownership of entries. Indeed, there are many matrix representations, such as MatIS and MatElemental, where an "ownership range" cannot describe the ownership of entries. You can use MatGetOwnershipIS() to get the latter (and even this is an incomplete description for MatIS).
