Is the remote enitrely inactive until a connection is established when waking from sleep?

Using a T2Cz I have a system maco to turn on tv/rec/etc and then on the remote itself it links to another page.

When waking from sleep I hit the button, get feedback (beep/active state) but nothing happens (as to be expected until connection is established) but it also does not change the page as I thought it would given that that is a local feature not requiring a connection.

Does the remote not change the page because the macro is not run?
