You can always wipe a Mac of user storage but Apples firmware can be set to block downgrades (when they stop signing the code, just like iOS). This means they could make it so a wipe means the current version OS is loaded.
Chozhall1 - usually non-internet recovery is dependent on the recovery partition on the local storage device. If this is not working, missing, corrupted, etc., you would experience the issue described. Either complete the internet recovery or on another machine, create a MacOS installer USB to use.
JediRhymeTrix - it depends. It is said Ventura checks for MDM on fresh installs. If this is the case, then MDM enrollment will happen if the system has a working internet connection. If it was never locked, then I assume an offline install would continue to work.
