Yes, the HDMI circuitry must be powered up...

to some extent for the signal to pass through. Many people use an HDMI splitter to do what you want, so they can watch TV without the AVR on.

Some AVRs have HDMI-CEC. When enabled it may look like your AVR is not on to just pass through the HDMI, but the HDMI part of it really is, and always is even when you think it's in some power-saving standby mode. You may or may not care about that for the sake of convenience. But IME, if you're just passing the HDMI through and not using the AVR to power any speakers etc., it draws insignificantly less power than just turning the damn thing on.
