Your explanation of the situation does make sense. However, you need to talk to your employer to get a better understanding about whether your W-2 is correct or if you need to request a corrected W-2.
There could be some guidelines or rules to follow based on the localities reported on your W-2 that you do not know. Also, since one of the localities is also your residence, that could be affecting the amount being reported. Often places where you live will want to tax you on all income earned, not just income earned in that location.
If you want to share the specific localities you are seeing on your W-2, someone here may have some real-life experience with those and can give you more information.
