Technically, the Steam Deck doesn't need the internet to function. Once you've downloaded games to the device, you can play them offline no problem. However, you'll need internet to download games, updates, or use any online features. So, yes and no, depending on what you're doing with it.

Not always! For downloading games and updates or playing online, sure, you'll need internet. But for playing downloaded games offline? You're all set without it.

Gotta say, the Steam Deck can work without the internet, but it's kinda like having a sports car and never taking it out of the garage. Sure, it works, but you're missing out on a lot!

Nope, not for playing your games. But yes for everything else that's fun about it.
