I don't really think so.  Those are a kludge so that a drive can pull 1A
instead of the max 500 mA from a single port.  Your device is way under
that, and the powered hub will probably make no difference.  I'd just
run an extension cord for the test, and think about what to do next if
it turns out to matter.
