An app has to ask for the permission android.permission.INTERNET and

I don't remember being asked to grant internet access since about
Froyo/Gingerbread era
 
"Both the INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions are normal
permissions, which means they're granted at install time and don't need
to be requested at runtime."

I stand corrrected, yes, you're right. On current android versions, apps
don't have to ask for that permission, but you still need to add this in
the app manifest as developer, so people can check wether the app uses
network connections at all.
