Does Machine Vision API work offline?

Does the Google Mobile Vision (https://developers.google.com/vision/) API work offline? Or does it need Internet connectivity? The sample app does not require any Internet permission. Which means the API works entirely offline. I am looking for a positive confirmation of this.

PS. Also I am looking for more information on this API. For example, does it use neural networks? If so what algorithms were used? I can not find any detail discussion anywhere.

Pricing is tiered - the first 1000 units used each month are free, units 1001 to 5,000,000 are priced as marked, etc. If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

The API does an initial library download the first time that it is used, and then works offline from that point on.
