Yes, the computer must be ON when you connect the shuffle. It's not the USB cable that requires power. It's the shuffle connected to the USB cable. If the computer is not turned ON, the USB port has no power.
According the iPod shuffle user guide
https://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/ (page 7)
"The battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in about three hours."
