USB 1.1 was already around in 1999, USB 2.0 being released in 2001 with Mini-A/AB/B being available in 2001, and the standard Type-A as early as 1996.
Take one of those USB Type-A to USB-C and you're good enough until circa-2008 when USB-C starts to get around
USB-C wasn't designed until 2014. So yeah you'll need a charging cable regardless
Even nowadays USB-C devices aren't the de-facto yet(specially true in 3rd world countries like mine), Mini-B and Micro-C are still fairly common(tho really limited compared to USB-C), so depending on the devices being taken, it might not be that much of a trouble
But the old USB chargers didn't have high speed charging (2+amps) until much later. Most cell phones can't charge effectively from the original 0.5A standard USB.
