According to the autopkgtest specification: maybe, but not necessarily.

(the title of the last section is "Network Access")

It's been proposed in the past, but the autopkgtest maintainers
considered and rejected it. <https://bugs.debian.org/801895>
<https://bugs.debian.org/851556>
Maybe "Features: works-offline" (with the opposite meaning) would be
another way to represent this?
game-data-packager (in contrib) is an example of a package that tries to
test itself by downloading non-Free data from the internet, although it
looks like it currently skips the relevant test on ci.debian.net because
the testbed doesn't have the freedesktop.org DOWNLOADS directory
(usually ~/Downloads) configured.
