PowerPoint tends to have more options, since it is primarily a tool to create presentations. Since OneNote is primarily for notes, it has a decent selection as well. But if you can't find the shape you want, you can just draw your own.

This is what inserting shapes looks like under the Draw tab in OneNote 2016.
Here's what it looks like to insert each of the shapes into a Notebook. Notice at the end that you can use Lock Drawing mode to draw the same shape over and over until you turn it off. You can also edit the color and thickness of the lines after creating them, and move them around and resize them.
