No, system fonts are fonts you have in your computer, and most programs there (including InDesign, Sigil and web browsers) are able to use them without your intervention.
A device might have or not its own set of system fonts, and they might be or not accessible to ebook-reading applications in the device. If you want anything portable, you should not assume any font at all will be available in a device (that is, any
specific font, you can always assume there will be
some default font).

and Included fonts would be fonts that I downloaded?

Included (embedded) fonts are fonts that are not necessarily installed in your computer, but they are included with the ebook file. Most ePub-reading software supports using these fonts, but there are of course bugs and limitations.
