Yes, you can definitely use Jade fully air-gapped with the built-in cam via QR (a great feature imo).

My point is, to get the benefit of the simulated secure element using the PIN server, won't the device need to be connected via USB cable?

I dont know... Its still hard for me to understand after reading blockstream's website how exactly it works.

I confess I also don't know how it works in detail, perhaps it is possible to verify with an air gap!? But even then it sounds terribly centralized to me. If it was me, I wouldn't use the PIN server verification for that reason. Just use a Bip39 passphrase and you can negate much of the risk of not having a secure element. I guess in the end it depends on ur threat model and the tradeoffs you are willing to make..
