So if the publisher uses font-family: "Charis", serif will Georgia be used instead of "Charis"?
It also depend how the fonts are embedded in the epub.
But in many cases the Regular substyle is repleced by the Georgia font, other substyles (italic, bold and bolditalic) are usually correctly displayed with the embedded font. See also here.

I've added some quickly coded (k)epubs to test font handling and do not have a cover image.
Using the predefined generic default font family for serif fonts (= Georgia). Using an other font (Amasis) that is present on the user agent (Kobo device) and should be used instead of the Georgia font.
And some embedded fonts. Coded in different ways.
Every page in the books use a different stylesheet.
