You have to connect to iTunes to complete a carrier-requested unlock. But, your backup in iCloud is tied to your iCloud account via your AppleID, not tied to the hardware device. Once unlocked, you would set up your iCloud account as it was, then restore over the air.
Just make sure that iCloud has updated recently, right before completing the restore to complete the unlock.
