I don't know. Surely it is possible to have a contact list without it
being stored by Google?


Yes, just turn off all the syncing with in the google account on the
phone. Preferably before you've uploaded/restored your
contacts/calendar/etc to the phone. Then never do or set off manual
sync for that account.

Deleting the google account will definitely break the link to google
but I have feeling the phone will complian about not being able to
"phone home" and it may affect your access to the playstore.

Yes, it's quite difficult to disconnect from Google completely. I
don't think Play Store works without logging in to a Google account
does it? (Among other things)
