    Yes that’s how it works, the device needs to be connected to the net and be able to locate itself.

    Some phone makers (if not most these days, idk) don’t allow you to even reboot or turn off the phone without unlocking it. So it would need to be placed in a Faraday cage, run out of battery or smashed to not be findable as long as the feature is active.
