If you're using E Phrygian, then yeah you're using all the same notes as C Major
If you meant the relative Phrygian Mode in E natural minor (B Phrygian) then you're using 6 or the 7 notes in C major, the only difference is your F note in the scale is sharpened to an F# (this is not in the C Major scale) - B Phrygian would be instead using all the notes of the G major scale.

E phrygian is the third mode of C major so you're effectively playing exactly the same notes with a different tone center. It is not really borrowing as much as it is all just the same notes really.

I'm not great at remembering all of the notes yet. But I can visualize the scale shapes from the root notes, and adapt the tone centers. Are basic power chords, for example the low 3 string bars in drop tuning, considered minor chords always?

NO, absolutely not! Minor and major is determined by the minor or Major third, a powerchords has neither(just the root and the fifth). Basically, minor or Major is determined by the key you're in and the note you play over them. Let's take A5-G5-F5-G5 this hints at the key of A minor because that the key where you can have those powerchords in, the A is minor, G and F are major. However, because you are playing over powerchords you can definetely throw in either a minor or Major third in your solo every once in awhile but maybe that's for another time.
