It depends on how game developer built the multiplayer game system. if they have a server tool such as .exe program and required server files only and you just need run the program in order to host on your local pc/vps, it doesn't need to install the whole game files. but it could be need to install other program in order to run it successfully like java environtment or JRE (in minecraft pc/mac version).
actually, i hosted a gameserver for halo custom edition in my local pc and also in vps.. it doesn't need whole game files, just the requrement files for hosting it and also, it doesn't need to install other program for it.
idk, what gameserver you want to host, but like i said. it depends on how game developer built it. And also before you host, make sure you read the documentation from the website or anything about what you want to host any gameserver because, that's the easy part to see if it need to install whole game files, required files, or maybe just a tool .exe or maybe other thing.. or required other software in order to run.
