Mesh.bounds.center _does_ return local space position. The code in your example project is using GetComponent<MeshRenderer>(), and as noted in the docs you linked, MeshRenderer.bounds.center returns world space position.
If you want local space, you should use GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh.bounds.center.
