That's how all hot water heaters work. His just uses natural gas instead of electricity.
A gas water heater is still going to have an electric start.
My gas hot water heater does not have an electric start.
Not if it's a tank system. They can, but they don't have to, since the pilot stays lit all the time. A tankless system has to use some power since it cycles every time you use it.

None that requires the house electricity. Piezo, batteries easily work.
Some use a 9v battery on their starter.

In either case, they don't require mains power.
