Does the 1U or 1.5U in a vertical PDU name mean it uses that much front rack space?

No. On the vertical models, that figure describes the physical height of the PDU body.

Because the unit mounts vertically down the side of the cabinet, it does not consume that amount of front rack space.

The figure describes the body itself, not a rack position that must be left empty.
