This depends on the browser.

In current versions of Chrome (this could change!), localStorage is not accounted for in the quota system, and each origin has a fixed 10MB cap. Other storage types (Indexed DB, Cache Storage, etc) share the dynamically calculated quota assigned to each origin (currently something like 6% of disk size, but varies across OS/device types). So localStorage and Indexed DB do not compete. But that's just Chrome. Other browsers may do things differently.

Firefox and Chrome both offer a navigator.storage.estimate() method which lets you inspect usage and quota by an origin; you could use this to determine if a particular storage mechanism is reflected in that browser's quota system.
