The current version requires you to log in once and be online to download the graphics resolution(s) you want. Once you've done that, there's no need to be online again. If you want, you can copy your user data and graphics to another machine without ever going online. Your user data says which platforms you chose, whether you're a beta tester and whether you have any extras like the gold pinball.
The cabinet update will bring offline installation. That will require you to do some kind of login to get a license file(*) containing your user data. You'll be able to download installable graphics data packages for all the resolutions. You'll then be able to install the game on any machine without ever going online and no need for our servers to still be around.
* Exact details for offline installation won't be certain until it's actually implemented.
