This happens regardless of your current connectivity status.

Actually no. I just tried it out, and it definitely does not work as you made sound. I bought a book (any one that doesn't cost any money will do) and selected the "download via PC" option - so that I could sideload it onto my PW without having wifi on. Once sideloaded it shows the "delete this book" when going to the info page (wifi is still off). The PW does not know that the book was already in my cloud. Then I turned wifi on and synced. Now the info page shows correctly "remove from device" instead.
So the only thing that happens regardless of connectivity status is a book that is not in the cloud always shows "delete this book".
