Question: is it possible to test a 'php contact form' via localhost?,

localhost refers to the loopback connector of the machines network interface card, so PHP running on a "remote server" is ALSO effectively on "localhost"

SO:
The form itself will work anywhere that HTML will.

If you are using PHP to generate the HTML it will work wherever there is a server that runs PHP.

If you actually mean "can I test the process by sending messages from my home machine"?

The answer is: It depends: -> http://php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php
