Yes, that's a good approach if the printer is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Install the printer on one computer first, ensure it prints correctly, and then enable Printer Sharing in that computer's settings. After sharing is enabled, the other computers on the same network should be able to discover and connect to the shared printer. Keep in mind that the host computer must remain powered on and connected to the network for the shared printer to be available. If the printer supports network printing or AirPrint, it's usually even better to add it directly to each computer instead of relying on printer sharing.
A local printer is one that is connected directly to an end user's desktop or laptop computer, and is usually used exclusively by that one end user. This is in contrast to a networked printer, which can be accessed and used by multiple people on the same network that the printer is attached to.

Network printing works like normal printing as far as your document is concerned, but the computer does a little more work. Normally, the computer sends the document to a printer physically plugged in to it and it prints. In this case, the printer isn't plugged in, but is instead on the network, usually connected another computer. The computer printing would send the data over the network to the computer hosting the printer as if the printer were plugged in to the local machine.
The easiest way to set up a new network laser printer to a network is to use wireless. The printer will simply connect to all computers on that wireless network.
