Yes, it does. Just because, say, your TV is not on or your cell phone is in your pocket and not charging, does not mean that you are not using power/energy. As long as you have a working cable plugged into a socket, energy will be transmitted, regardless of whether or not what it is connected to is on or not; so unplug when they're not in use! The best thing to do is buy a power strip, so that you can unplug everything all at once when leaving your home.
