Do cell phone network carriers even have any part on RCS messages? If I have no wifi and no mobile data but still have minutes and sms's no RCS message will ever leave my device, so I would say all of them will go though google servers, because if they can't reach google servers they will not even leave your phone to go anywhere. Such a beautiful mess. What's not to love about it?

It depends if you’re using Google’s RCS or not. Different carriers also support RCS via their servers. What you have access to depends on your device and carrier.
