No it cannot. How is a client supposed to figure out how routing works to get to the DHCP server, if not from info it gets from the DHCP server?
DHCP helper receives the request from the client and passes it to the DHCP server using the DHCP protocol across a routed network.
Subsequently, DHCP clients can renew their lease with the DHCP server without the involvement of the DHCP relay.
You seem to be focusing on the most common use for DHCP. There are other less common uses for DHCP that invalidate some of your statements.
