Yes, the CVV is not required. If you think about it, it is obvious CCV isn't since many self-serve card swipe machines (gas stations, grocery stores, fast food restaurants) don't ask you for it.

There are two CVVs: one printed on the card, one on the magstripe. So for swipe transactions they're still getting a CVV.

CVV is unnecessary for offline payments because the physical card is being presented.
