You are correct. I have found that recently to my peril!

Also, stay away from cheap hubs with a 19V power supply and bad capacitors...

I bought one of these. (well I got the european version):

We tested the cable, and it is good enough for the RPI. (I did pay about $13, and not the $2 that is quoted as the best price there).

I use a powered USB hub. I takes a 5v 2.5mm dc jack to power the hub, then I plug a USB A to micro USB lead to provide the power to the Pi.

It works well and to remove power from the Pi, I just pull the dc jack from the hub.
