There's no benefit to that unless you're experimenting and do not want to transport this object. If you do want to transport you shouldn't make it a local object but put it in a development class (other than $tmp) and enter it into a transport request. Best talk to your developers for the correct procedure.

Hi,

Local Object means these Enhancement / Modification / Customization are not going to be included into any Package. Any change requests are of two types: Transportable or Local. If you decide not include your changes in any packages and thus not make this Transportable, i.e. the release and export phenomena will not be applicable there and you won't be able to create any task for a Local object.

Of course the authorization class, object and fields need to be moved through the Landscape and thus you need to include them into a Package. Preferably you should create a new Custom package (or may be already available) to move your changes though that package.

Let me know if you have any further query.
