So a human who acquires the shadow creature template becomes an outsider with the augmented subtype. What does this mean?
Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep.
A creature receives this subtype when something (usually a template) changes its original type. Some creatures (those with an inherited template) are born with this subtype; others acquire it when they take on an acquired template. The augmented subtype is always paired with the creature's original type.
So the creatures original type is human would that mean he is considered native?
This subtype is applied only to outsiders. These creatures have mortal ancestors or a strong connection to the Material Plane and can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be. creatures with this subtype are native to the Material Plane. Unlike true outsiders, native outsiders need to eat and sleep.
A human is augmented with the shadow creature template, do you still eat and sleep and have a soul as an augmented shadow creature?
This next part is a little wacky and from lore not so much rules but outsiders also do not really age. So would a human who acquired the outsider type stop aging?

No, the creature has the Outsider(Augmented Human) type and subtype. Native is a completely different subtype than augmented.
Edit: When it says the augmented subtype is always paired with the original type means that a human with shadow creature template is an Outsider(Augmented Human) a halfing would be Outsider(Augmented Halfling) and a goblin would be Outsider(Augmented Goblin). The augmented never appears alone it is paired with whatever creature type it was originally.
So then the human loses his soul, and no longer needs to eat, or sleep. correct?
Correct.
Edit: To clarify. Outsiders do have souls but their souls are their bodies.
Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit.
This would be true for the shadow creature as well.
