Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I assume from your side info that you are referring to calibre's viewer. In reference to ePub books I believe calibre views the images as the enclosed html dictates and does not automatically resize any image

I am sure that the iPad also respects the html in the epub book. Images are used for all sorts of things in books and any reader that indiscriminately automatically scales images to fill the width would drastically alter the intention of many images.
