No, IntelliJ doesn't call maven, but get all information from the pom.xml e.g. output directories libraries etc.

So don't worry, you can call make from IntelliJ for compiling and running your application. If you have some special goals in your maven build file you can run it from the maven window.

All maven dependencies will be downloaded from IntelliJ an stored in the maven local repository.
