I read on this page https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/overview under the Grafik that

The left side of the diagram shows Portable Native Client (PNaCl, pronounced “pinnacle”). An LLVM based toolchain produces a single, portable (pexe) module. At runtime an ahead-of-time (AOT) translator, built into the browser, translates the pexe into native code for the relevant client architecture.

Is this AOT translation happens on the server side or on the client side?

It happens on the client side, in the browser (after it downloads the pexe from the server).

Note also that the pexe->nexe AOT translation is done using a NaCl module, so that if there were any pexe bitcode parsing bugs, they will have limited effects.
