Will the system work without Internet connectivity

Hi guys,
I have tried to search for the answer in the forums, but apparently my searching-the-forum-skills are not strong enough 
Will the Omada Controller eco-system require constant access to the Internet to function? Imagine a network that will have no direct Internet access - will the Omada SDN system work fully then?
I get that any any firmware updates to the controller or any switches or AP's adopted to the controller will not be able to be downloaded automatic directly from the internet. But will it be possible to "manually" update the Omada Controller as well as add updated firmware for switches and AP's using files downloaded outside the network?
ALso I dont fully understand the difference between the software controller (either installed on a computer or using the OC200) and the cloud controller. Can someone explain that? Will the cloud controller take over the local software controller at some point making my original question mood in the process?
Stay safe everyone and with kind regards,
Henrik
@Rod-IT Thanks for your reply. 
The question is still: Is it possible to "manually" upload new firmware to the controller (for both itself as well as switches and AP's) so it can use that for updates even though it will not have internet access itself. Like if you download the needed updates on a laptop connected to the internet and then log on to the management webpage and upload the firmware to the controller?
@Rod-IT Thanks for your answer.
Well - in my original post I did ask "But will it be possible to "manually" update the Omada Controller as well as add updated firmware for switches and AP's using files downloaded outside the network?"
I might not have been clear - English is not my native tongue - but my intention with the question you just managed to answer nevertheless. So thanks again
Kind regards
