does the bolt have to be back to lock in a loaded mag?

No, makes it a bit easier though.
To load on a closed bolt takes some technique, usually what works for me is to insert the mag straight in, and when the first shell starts to compress, rock it forward.
YMMV

Yeah, some guys find it difficult, but lots of competition shooters do it every day.
