Nope - it doesn't need an Internet connection. It communicates with the payment terminal using NFC (exactly the same as contactless payment using a credit or debit card does), and the terminal talks to the bank. There's absolutely no difference between using Apple Pay and a contactless card. It works even if the iPhone is in Airplane mode.
