The virtual environment (recommended even if you only run askbot on the server) can be created anywhere. For example in the same directory where the cloned code base is installed.
If you have a virtual environment, it might be easier to set up independent production and staging instances on the same machine, as well as running other applications. If you install into the global environment, there may be dependency clashes between the various applications.
Take a look at the virtualenv documentation and explanations elsewhere on the web.
