I doubt that. There are huge batches experiments (performed by zoologists) experimenting the limits of octopus intelligence. Some have demonstrated that their tentacles have some limited brain power on their own, being able to perform some limited reasoning and problem-solving when isolated from the central brain.

does that mean "cut off" ?

No, in the experiment I read about they forced the tentacles to go out of the water to reach some hidden area, which apparently somehow disconnects the tentacle sensitivity and reasoning from the "central unit".
