Nope. You can't even use it on a tablet without owning a smartphone.

So is the model similar to that of WhatsApp web? can you receive messages on the desktop app if your phone is switched off?

Unlike WhatsApp, the desktop app receives messages when the phone is off. Also unlike WhatsApp, messages received on the phone before you paired the desktop app do not get transferred to the computer.
