Does every port need its own run back to the patch panel or switch?

Yes. Each port normally has its own run back to the central network point — perhaps a patch panel, switch or router depending on the installation.

It uses more individual cables, certainly, but it also avoids turning the wiring into a labyrinth of shared branches that becomes unpleasant to test later.

Can the installation cable leave the module in different directions? Is the 7.41mm rear-cover opening the maximum cable diameter? Can I terminate shielded Ethernet cable onto this module? Does each socket on the multi-port versions need its own cable run?
