How do I configure a router if I need an internet connection to configure it? Sounds like a circular dependency issue.

Out of box configuration of the device is done without the need for Internet access.

Also, these days a good % of customers are walking around with an Internet connection in their hands, separate from their home connection.

Does it mean that you can set it up without a Google Account, then? Or does it let you create one (without being set up for the internet) somehow?

It's a wirless bridge, and it assumes you already have a router with an internet connection(i.e. your cable/dsl/fiber box). Setup instructions are here:
