I was talking about the PC version, but I checked the manual for Mac and it says:

The first drop-down contains formatting presets (subsection 15.4.3); handy ways to apply many formatting preferences at once.

Which doesn't sound hopeful. In fact, when you look at section 15.4.3 you see:

Previously known as “Styles”, the new system changes the name to avoid confusion with word processor styles, which keep assigned ranges of text up to date with stylesheets.

So they appear to be quite different things (presets sound like macros that set multiple explicit formatting).
Word processor styles (in LibreOffice, and I presume Word) are mostly compatible with the HTML concept of styles, which export tools use to their advantage, as can a writer that gets used to using styles effectively.
So presets aren't going to help you make a well constructed epub. Word processor styles can (in combination with a good export tool).
