Whereas I was expected it was the 4th step which ask me to log in…
Is there any option to postpone this login step? Or is the documentation out to date?

Per Microsoft Learn
This is classed as a “public preview”, meaning it may change with no notice, etc. Not recommended for production.
That said, did you choose an authentication method? If so, what happened? A brief web search using “vscode keyring” and “vscode token” gives lots of possible solutions, some of which should at least provide more data to work with.
For how I understand it, authentication using an online account is required to be able to connect you to your own tunnels on the other end. That would mean internet access is required.
Maybe an VSCode SSH connection does work without internet.
