I haven't checked this out yet, but in settings, general, keyboard, there is a link that says "dictation privacy". You might check this out.. I'm thinking Apple would need to know if you tell it to address a message to a specific contact, so it can insert that contact in the message. I frankly haven't used dictation yet to compose a message, but I'd think it's linked to contacts settings in iCloud. The dictation service has to go online to process what you say and insert the text, as the device doesn't have enough resources to do this.
