When I use the $visitor.geo object in my velocity code, I always get the location of my hosted server, not the user's location. I tried it on the demo.dotcms.com site and it works correctly there, showing my actual location. Are there any additional settings that need to be set in order for it to work?

Most likely, you are running behind a reverse proxy and that is the ip that is being resolved. You will need to configure your reverse proxy to send the correct X-FORWARDED_FOR headers and edit your server.xml to include Tomcat's Remote IP valve.
