Downloading the blockchain to use an offline wallet?

I'm a bit confused about how this works.
I have an offline wallet, the official Bitcoin one, and I transferred 0.001 btc to it a while a go before it had synced with the network. I let it download the blockchain and it's now only a week behind on it's sync.
What I don't understand is how I was able to use my wallet before the blockchain was actually downloaded? Why does it need to sync?
I'm just trying to figure this out before I move all my btc into an offline wallet and back it up.
