I haven't used Mandriva, but based on how things work in Fedora, I would suspect you do. If it's like Fedora, libusb provides only the compiled .so needed by running programs. libusb-devel provides the extra bits that developers need to actually compile things that require libusb. Since most end users don't compile stuff and the devel files take up extra space, they're packaged separately so those who do development work can install just what they need.
