(No Habitats = an Occ. 0 ship.) So the air you're breathing is coming from your Habitat modules, whether you're in your cabin or in that cargo bay.
Yes, but S stands for Sealed and V stands for Vacuum Support. If you don't have those, your habitat not only lacks life support but is actually open to space. Most systems on a ship without Habitats still provide Sealed and Vacuum Support functionality.

In fact on ships without habitats, systems include 24-hour air supply for a certain SV occupancy.
