Anyone know if offline hours and achievements appear when you come back online?

achievements if the game is coded properly, hours, no.

As said achievments depending on the game, but offline time spent playing a game does count for the 2hour limit for refunding a game.

Ya.
If a game is coded right, then even if you play in offline mode, your achievements will pop up when you come back online (altho they will all have the same time - they will all be tagged with an earn time of the moment you come online).

Hours you play offline will not show up on your Steam Profile for other regular users to see. So if your parents tell you that you can only play CSGO for 3 hours tonight. And you go offline, and play all night long. In the morning, if your parents look at your Steam game playtime it will look like you didn't play the game at all. And you will appear to be a good kid.

BUT.. as bill7932 said, those hours are STILL tied to your account in some private way that Steam Support/Valve can still *see*. So if you play offline for 8 hours, and then ask for a refund. Because you think you found a loophole in the system (since your Profile will say you played less than 2 hours). Steam Support will still know how many hours you played. And your refund request will rightfully be rejected because you played for more than 2 hours.
