What does one kilogram-force millimeter represent?

It is the torque from a force of one kilogram-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one millimetre.

Why convert kilogram-force millimeter to newton centimeter?

To translate legacy gravitational torque units into SI units used in precision engineering and modern applications.

Is the conversion affected by local gravity variations?

Yes, because the kilogram-force is defined using standard gravity, deviations in local gravity may lead to slight differences.
