Then, Mathematica needs to go online only to check whether they have been updated (but the check can be turned off). From the online documentation: "When you click a link to a documentation notebook or call a data function like CountryData, Mathematica knows whether a newer version of the information is available on a Wolfram Research Paclet Server, and if so it will download and install the update automatically. In the case of smaller paclets like documentation notebooks, this is often so fast that you will not even notice it happening." See "Mathematica Internet Connectivity" at http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/InternetConnectivity.html, or select tutorial/InternetConnectivity in the documentation center.
