So...does this mean I HAVE to buy the Optura 60 to use a shotgun mic?

No no, the Optura 60 includes a HOT shoe, so it can be used to interface with some Canon accessories. The Optura 50 includes a COLD shoe, so its basically just a mounting point. So yes, you can get a standard shotgun mic, mount it on the cold shoe and plug the mini cable into the Optura 50.
