I like shitting on Plex but you absolutely can stream entirely locally without internet.
There is at least one TV application that doesn't support local streaming without first logging into Plex's servers. I have an LG tv and it'll hang at the loading screen, then error out if I don't have Internet connectivity. I love the TV but LG as a company sucks. I wouldn't buy it again.
