Not all, no.
HomeKit and ZWave don't require an Internet connection. I use a bunch of ZWave devices connected via Ethernet through a Raspberry Pi with hassio and a ZWave USB adapter - controlled from my phone when it connects to my wifi network.
To protect your wifi network, make sure you have a decent gateway in place. OpenWRT does a great job, but there are many others as well.
