Yes cluster will be still online if your 2 nodes go offline.
In windows 2008 if your 2 nodes go offline automatically the 3rd node will be offline.
In windows 2012 has dynamic quorum enabled by default.
Please check my comments in the below threads.

FYI in an odd number of DAG members File share witness is being ignored and "Node majority" in play.
