Does that mean that even if I don't get online for many years, I still can receive the BTC sent to me years ago when I get online.

Absolutely. This means that you can create a new wallet with new addresses while offline, record an address, encrypt the wallet, delete the original, put it in storage, and pay to it whenever you want and essentially be beaming money into your super secure bitcoin savings account.
Got it! Thanks for your suggestion.
