AirDrop?

Use AirDrop to share and receive photos, documents, and more with other Apple devices that are nearby.

That will transfer photos and videos to your camera roll.

No, unfortunately. From the article I linked you to:

So I guess your only option would be to use iCloud Drive: upload your photos and videos there and then access those on your phone so you can download a copy to your phone. Not sure if there's a way to download a bunch at once, though, or if it would be a tedious one-by-one process (not sure how many files we're talking about). Of course, you could also use another cloud service such as OneDrive or Google Drive.

Does that mean that theres no way to make the transfer?

The best way is to enable icloud photos, and they all sync with each other

Other than the cloud is there another option?

You can email them to yourself, but that is a slow and tedious process.

You can transfer the photos and videos from your Mac directly to the iPhone or iPad via a wired connection, or via an external drive, by transferring them to the Files app on the iPhone or iPad. You can then copy them into the albums in Photos where you want them to be. Again, not a fast transfer, especially if your device still has a slow lightning port.

I'm not sure why you are adverse to using iCloud, but doing so allows you to create a shared album on your Mac (or any iPhone or iPad) and make those photos and videos available through iCloud. If you want to copy them from the shared album onto the device you can.
