If It blocks port 25 comming in you won't be able to have self-hosted email address. Note that in both cases it won't prevent you from having a fully confidential email address, and that these blockages will be automatically detected and you Own-Mailbox will only propose configurations that will work. So from that I think that it can use the ISPs email server.

So basically, once you add the relay, you have made the devices most compelling feature no longer a feature.

The compelling feature is secure webmail. It makes no difference how that mail gets from sender to recipient for that aspect.
