Here is the information from TIMATIC as of today for someone with an Indian passport traveling to Cuba on a flight or ship from the US. This is the system that airline personnel check to ensure you have your immigration documents in order before allowing you to check in for your flight. It clearly indicates that Cuba will require a visa and does not indicate that it can be bought upon arrival, so I would expect you'd need to show it at check in. I don't know if there are implications upon return to the US if they notice you're arriving from Cuba - I would hope not but I don't know. Talk to an immigration lawyer if you have questions on that.
