Where does the monitor get power? I assume from the positive and from the shunt connection. Otherwise yes off is off regardless of the terminal.

The shunt typically feeds a very high input impedance circuit in the monitor so minimal loading will occur.
EDIT: See my below comments for an active shunt versus a passive shunt.
