So why do I need to upload fonts or create a style sheet? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,

You may not need to include fonts for things to
work.
The device may support
Your chosen font
The device
falls back to a system font (an you did not notice the difference)
Stylesheets allow CONTROL in a common (usually single) place instead of willy-nilly through out the document. This allow a Single change to revise the look and feel of your work.
What happens if you decided the font, foo.ttf, you chose for Chapter Headings looked really bad on a small display? Without a stylesheet, you would need to locate and change each and every use to the new choice.
With a stylesheet, you simply make the change once.
Do take time and learn basic CSS. The stylesheet need not be complex. K.I.S.S. will work well here
