I think you need to install Azure CLI in order to use the same commands on local powershell:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows?tabs=azure-cli
you need to have also pg_dump and pg_restore command-line utilities installed.
pg_dump is not part of the Azure CLI but is a PostgreSQL client application.
Cloud Shell happens to have a lot of packages installed already (i.E. terraform) and apparently pg_dump.
If you want to use it locally on your client you might want to look at installing the corresponding client tools. Maybe this SO thread helps (if you are running Windows): How do I install just the client tools for PostgreSQL on Windows?
