The reported battery life on the Vision Pro is still going to require that you have dedicated "goggles on" time for the foreseeable future.

the battery has a usb-c port in photos that implies you can charge it while using it.

So do my headphones, but I can't charge them in use either.

If you watch the keynote there’s direct discussion of a power cable for the headset that is meant for constant power.

The first thing Apple says about battery life is "all day while plugged in". The device is intended to be used as long as desired while plugged in, just like a laptop.

This has been mostly missed by reviewers and pundits. They’ve presented a primarily sitting/static experience; the battery is for when you need to walk around between sedentary moments. In that context 2 hrs is going to be (mostly) plenty
