When ${script} is used in the launch tab configuration, it is assumed to be local, so would expand to the local path of the script. When ${script} is used in a command, it can be either local or remote, so will expand to the location of the script in a staged directory. Copying the script from the local to the staged directory would take place automatically using the remote information obtained from the RM instance.
