Not necessarily.  You can do that in a lot of countries,
and it might be convenient for some people.  There are
also services which let you write a text with your cell
phone (as an SMS message) and have it being sent as an
e-mail message.

Finally, there are still some old dial-up networks (anyone
remembers FIDO?) which are not directly connected to the
internet, but which have e-mail gateways.

So:  It's true, you do not have to have internet access
in order to send e-mail messages.
