[SOLVED] How am I able to use sha256sum "without" a network connection, and get a hash-response?

QUESTION SHOULD READ: How am I able to run the command "sha256sum x.img" and get a response without a network connection?
I am under the impression that sha256sum pings the distro side of things and reads "THEIR" hash file for my .img and gives me that info in a hash-printout in my term.
If so, how I am able to get that info without being connected to the network?
I tried it a few times without the network connected, neither wifi or ethernet. Both times, with different images in different term's, I got a response. It makes me think the command is just reading MY "sha256sum.sha file that downloaded with the image. Maybe it is, either way, seems strange.
Debian 10 buster; 32-bit
Thanks.
