Yes, having your network behind a USB adapter is going to degrade
performance compared to a PCI-connected NIC.  A half-millisecond delay
is quite high for 100Mbit LAN.  Offset and jitter in the same range
are to be expected.

The output of:

ntpq -c "rv 0 version precision"

would shed a bit more light on which ntpd version and the time to read
the clock on that system.
