You are right, the device will get 5 volts. However it is still part of the spec that 2ms without a SOF will force the device into suspend mode, so it will use less than 2ma. So depending on your definition of function, there will be power, but no activity. If it uses more than 2ma, from the bus, problems will ensue.
