Logging to Cloud Logging only works if instance has an external IP address, why?

Hello,

I've followed these instructions to set up cloud logging for a Python application running on a Compute Engine instance. I've noticed that it only works if the instance has an external IP address.

Is this correct? I assume that the Cloud Logging API communicates over the internet, but I don't understand why, I hope someone can explain this.

Is it also possible to log to Cloud Logging without an external IP adress?

Thanks!
