No, it is offline desktop software that doesn't depend on a cloud. That is the point and they should be rubbing it in because Office used to be like that and now it is not.

Office still is like that. It runs fine offline.

Only if you have the offline license, at a different price point from the online license.

The licence doesn't matter. Office 365 comes with all the desktop applications. You can use them fully offline.
