its bad practice to install fonts directly into the /usr/local/share/fonts folder. refer to the system fonts folder where each font is first put in a folder that corresponds to the fonts type (eg: truetype) and then the fontname (eg:droid)

so you should put this font in /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/noto

I actually have this font already on ubuntu lunar from the fonts-noto-color-emoji apt package

dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf 
fonts-noto-color-emoji: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

don't place the font in /usr/share though, thats only for system apt packages to interact with

this package fonts-noto-color-emoji is available on buster/bullseye/bookworm bionic/focal/jammy/etc
why don't we just use it instead and make this a package app?

I think because originally this script was installing Segoe UI Emoji from Microsoft, which was later changed to Noto in a PR. There is no good reason it is not a package-app.
