That's plain impossible. When the Wifi is off, the device can't communicate to get new ads.
Others have already posted the explanation - it's that the Kindle pulls the SOs for several weeks in advance.

I think there are a few minor features which are disabled, like that you're unable to set device owner information, lock code, etc. But except for the collections, nothing tragic.

Has anybody tested if the Kindle talks to Amazon server even when logged off from Amazon but with wifi activated?

It definitely talks to Amazon whenever you turn the Wifi on, to verify that it actually has internet connectivity. (You can use a WIFI_NO_NET_PROBE file to disable that). It may also be requesting the current time and stuff like that.
And I
think that I've seen it do various attempts to phone home even when unregistered, but don't quote me on that.
Anyway, if you're not interested in the Amazon store and the other online stuff, I think your best bet is to register it once, then keep it in Airplane mode. I'm personally keeping my devices offline essentially all the time.
