I do not think Google peers directly with every ISP in the world. Traffic can take multiple hops.

No but they do have an open peering policy meaning they'll generally peer with anyone who wants to free of charge.

True, but they need to peer with ISPs directly or indirectly, they can't just not peer with anybody if they still want to be reachable.
