Quick way to check would be to plug some sort of USB powered device (keyboard maybe) into the hub and see if it powers up without that PC signal cable connected
Your right that may be the case, have you tried to plug in a NON-Powered USB port into the AC->USB adapter? It may not have the intelligence to shut down power to the ports.

Belkin makes some pretty nice stuff, bet that thing is pricey.
