Yes!
That's the simple answer to your question. All the other complicated answers you're getting are everyone telling you the various ways they prefer to do it. We all have our own way we prefer to sideload books and they all work.
Why are you so eager never to connect your reader to the cloud? I download my books to my Kindle directly from the cloud. It's easy and never a problem. It does give Amazon information about me but I have a lot of information about them too so that's okay.
On my Nook and my Kobo I keep the Wifi off and simply drag and drop books to them from my PC. The reason is that I never have any reason to use Wifi on those although I would turn it on without hesitation if I had a reason.
I saw a bumper sticker once that said "yea I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley". I laughed a while and then after thinking about it I decided that's a worthy goal and i would live up to it. And I have. And Amazon and B&N and Kobo and all the rest stay up at night for fear of me!
