Does Plex have a dependency for their servers? Like, if I were to unplug my modem would it still work or would it flip shit if it can't phone home?

You can browse directly to your server's local IP address and use it that way if your Internet goes down. The cloud stuff just allows you to connect from the outside without port forwarding on your firewall.

I don't mean when the internet goes down but never has internet access. Like I would want it on it's own VLAN with no internet access.

Don't believe so, you have to create a plex account and authenticate to use the platform.

You can absolutely configure it to allow exceptions for LAN so that you don't need to authenticate to their servers over the web.
