Pairwise alignment finds the best matches between two sequences, whether on a global or local (piecewise) scale. The pairwise alignment in Pfam matches the query sequence with the HMM sequence that is its closest match, piece by piece. It can be viewed by clicking "Show Alignment" on the Pfam results page.
