Based on your signature.. you would know better than I. Yes there is normally a reservoir connected to a third hose from the pump but it all depends. I am not familiar with that specific pump in the image.
I simply provide electronics capable of driving a reversible motor which turns the rudder both ways. It can drive an electro-mechanical or hydraulic pump: it doesn't know the difference. The actual hydraulic schematic can vary depending on the specific boat. There are multiple ways to configure it, especially with multiple helms, pumps, and even strange home-made bypass valves giving helm feedback, or not.
