Sideload mode is indeed a fairly new feature, but I can't tell you which specific firmware introduced it. The MR wiki claims it was 4.31, but it might have been added earlier.

After a factory reset and enabling sideload mode, you will need to sync one time in order to download any dictionaries you want, but this does not require registration. It does, however, force you to use the latest firmware, since the sync will perform an update, whether you want to or not. You can manually install an older firmware if you want afterwards, as long as you don't go back to a firmware that predates sideload mode.
