That only works for the (amazing) WordLens functionality. Live audio translation still requires Google's cloud for processing.

WordLens works offline without any additional downloads, at least for the languages I tried (Spanish, French, English).

Audio translation and TTS works offline if you have the proper languages downloaded, but being able to detect what language is being spoken seems to be an online-only feature.
