The description of that article asumes that all components are installed on the same box.
For a 'distributed' environment, first run the setup wizard on your SQL server machine, let it create the Management and Reporting databse
Then, run the setup wizard on your App-V Server and point to the the remote DB. Note that the App-V installation wizard does not in any way install a SQL server, it justs creates databases.

Yes, for a pilot test.
But best practice for production tends to be to keep the DB on a separate machine.

Tim,
my goal is to have a dedicated SQL server and an other server for Management and Reporting Services.
And after looking again into the guide (http://blog.itvce.com/?p=4158) that looks absolutely clear I messed up with one thing. The Paragraph #1 shows deployment of Standalone SQL. Server. Then I thought that paragraph #2 shows installation of Management and Reporting services on a separate machine.
But closely looking at screen shots it actually uses the same SQL server. Because there for DB installation "USE THIS LOCAL COMPUTER" is selected.
I guess that "USE A REMOTE COMPUTER" should be used for deploying a DB on a previously installed standalone SQL server.
Please see the attached pic from the instruction or to the link to clarify if I finally got it right this time.
