Yes, Starship could make a huge difference in logistics. It would need an extensive support base. Catch towers. Cranes for unloading cargo. Tractors for shifting cargo around. Rocket propellant for sending Starship back for another flight. (One way Starships are possible, but that ruins the cost advantage.)

So this wouldn't let us "paradrop" a division. We'd still need a nearby ally or someplace the Marines could secure while the base is being built.
No, a fleet of Starships can take everything they need with them, which is precisely what NASA is paying SpaceX to do on the Moon, and precisely what Elon is planning for himself on Mars.

Except the fuel to launch back home
