Ideally, yes. But different fonts have different needs, and different designers different tastes. For instance,
Vollkorn provides both an alternate f and "fi"-like ligatures. By default "liga", the "fi" ligature is active, but "fj" uses the alternate f instead, and the "fj" is available in "dlig" (if I remember correctly). Other fonts may include "fj" in the standard ligatures, or move "fi" to the discretionary ones.

So my question is how does one find out quickly and easily what layout tags are available and what they contain for a given font?

Is FontForge's metrics window quick and easy enough?
