Why do some people born in October 1953 get one exact pass and others three?

Each year Saturn appears to stop, back up for a few months and move forward again. If your birth degree sits inside one of those loops, Saturn crosses it three times; otherwise once. Across October 1953 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Oct 1953 gets one exact pass, 15 Oct 1953 gets one exact pass and 31 Oct 1953 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

Only if you were born on 23 Oct 1953 or the day before: Saturn changed sign around then, and your birth time and place decide which side you fall on. Otherwise your dates hold without one; noon is used here.
