Assume that I have set up MediaWiki along with Parsoid properly. I don't import the `.xml.bz2` dump into MediaWiki. I also don't have Internet connection. Is it possible for Parsoid to convert the wikitext in the dump into a complete HTML, just as the Standard HTML REST API call from the wiki website does?

If Parsoid has access to a local MediaWiki api, it can use that get the configuration it needs. However, if you don't import the templates, you won't get the expansion you expect.
