Yeah, that's specifically what Matter+Thread are intended to address. The intention is that most devices that aren't battery powered and have an internet connection can act as a Thread border router and build out a mesh from there. The controller can be practically anything from that point.

Neither Matter nor Thread nor Matter+Thread requires an Internet connection in order to chooch.
