There are certain areas like: Grand Lake or Bear Lake that you will need to go online and pay for a Timed Pass. The others you can peruse at your leisure.

I don't know! I believe those are 2 separate issues and talking to someone at RMNP about that issue would be wise. Very soon, those timed entry requirements go away, and I can't imagine that issue was not raised when you got the hiking shuttle reservation. I do know that group tours of the park do not require an individual timed reservation. The timed entry is handled by the tour vendor.
