Does Venus in the 5th house mean I'll be famous?

While Venus in the 5th house certainly highlights creativity and a love for performance, it doesn't automatically guarantee fame. It suggests a strong desire for self-expression and appreciation for your talents, which could lead to recognition in your chosen field, but other factors in your birth chart would point more directly to widespread fame.

Is Venus in the 5th house good for dating and relationships?

Yes, this placement is generally considered very favorable for dating and relationships. It suggests you approach romance with enthusiasm, warmth, and a desire for fun. You're likely to be attractive to others due to your playful nature and affectionate disposition. You value romantic gestures and enjoy the courtship phase.

Do I need my exact birth time to know my Venus placement?

For Venus, having your exact birth time is generally not crucial. Venus moves slowly enough that it usually stays in the same house for an entire day. However, for the most accurate and precise chart, including house cusps, a birth time is always recommended.
