It is not - I still use my 11yo Chromecast Gen1 today. And it still works fine without USB power (as long as you don't try to play YouTube videos).

Less than one hour before the Titanic hit an iceberg, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet and jumped off. I swam all of the way back to Southampton to get it.

This is probably not my most grand of deeds in my two hundred and seventy years, but it is nonetheless the most memorable to me on this fine Saturday morning.

I also had this device and would concur it was supposed to work without USB power, but in my experience worked extremely poorly.
