You can have the test environment on the same box if you want to.
In most shops that would not be comme-il-faut though.

Overall, I see multiple instances as a developer features. For instance
it permits me to have SQL 2005, 2008 and 2012 on my desktop.

While it happens that shops runs multiple instance on production servers,
I would say that using different virtual machines is a better choice
today.
