There is no pipe or hose that connects to your toilet with a valve? The one I have can attach either at the valve or at the tank where the water enters the toilet.

  Tank is inside a wall, sealed and no access. May you can take off the button panel but a hose wouldn't be able to go through there. All of the piping is in the wall and there is one faucet across the room.

So how do you work on the toilet (as in, replace the flap or fill valve) without access to a water shutoff?

  The answer is you don't. I know people think I am missing something but I really don't. I have fixed toilets in other long term apartments before. This one simply has no access for a hose to connect to the bidet.

How do you turn off the water supply to the toilet? Is that part non-existent or inside the wall? Because that is where you normally install the splitter.

  It's diagonally across the room (~3m).

I have seen this design mainly in public toilets and in a few "modern" homes. Makes for easier to clean toilet area. But I also had similar questions as sibling comments are making. As someone who has had to fix my fair share of flushing issues I had my doubts about such a design.

  I have this type of toilet, in a very modern apartment. It's exactly as you say, more common in modern public places like airports and new offices. In my case, there's a 2m wide, ~70cm deep space behind the bathroom, where the water + heating + sewage + ventilation pipes for the whole building are located. There's a 40cm access panel in my wall to get to it. Adding a bidet thing would require drilling a hole through the wall. A previous apartment had a similar toilet, but the tank etc was just hidden behind wooden panelling. That would be much easier to modify.
