In the first paragraph you said, "There's no gateway involved." Isn't there a default gateway in every local network?

A gateway is a gateway. It can be used as a default gateway when it forwards to all external networks. No, not every local network has a gateway - some networks aren't routed and there's no gateway (e.g. my SAN isn't routed). Also, multiple gateways are possible, even default ones.
