It is definitely not DNS right? I am looking at a tutorial for configuring router and he put DHCP Name Server as 192.168.99.100 and secondary DHCP Name Server as 8.8.8.8. I understand DHCP Server as a server that provide dynamic IPs to client. However, in that case then why can 8.8.8.8 be used to provide dynamic IP to my local devices?

Those are the DNS settings that are being distributed to the DHCP clients, so in this example the clients will use 192.168.99.1 as their primary DNS server, and 8.8.8.8 as their secondary.
