For Mac is it completely wrong, and for Win partially wrong.

Mac:
* There is no help package at all. Offline-Help is included in the languagepack.

Win:
* even when there is a separate help package (like for windows and
linux), this is completely optional. The user doesn't *have* to
install it.

The user only needs to install it when he wants translated help on his
own computer as opposed to being directed to the wiki-help on the
internet.

Yes, exactly. Thus I find "you will have to" misleading.

That's only true for windows basically, as there are no languagepacks
and you cannot pack all help into the installer.

Of course download is smaller also for the other ones, but not
"significantly" (but of course depends on how you look at it)
