No. Ondevice is only valid when a device is plugged in.

I would like to be able to refer back to it to determine if there are any books which requiring syncing. I only plug in the kindle to my computer when I need to upload missing books. Here is the search:
#k2i:false or #k2i:no or ondevice:false

You can manually capture the value of ondevice. For example, you can use a tag. The procedure would be something like:
1) Select all books with tag onKindle.
2) Use bulk metadata edit to remove the tag. Alternatively, use manage tags and delete the tag.
3) Plug in the kindle.
4) search ondevice:true
5) select all and apply the tag onKindle.
There are many alternative approaches and steps.
Of course, the tag is only reflects what was there when the kindle was connected. It cannot see manual deletions or whispernet additions.
