This is correct. Current Readers cannot get to the small-caps in an OTF font unless the small-caps have replaced the lowercase letters.

But some fonts do have a small-caps variant so you can use that to get true small-caps. I know some SIL fonts have small-caps built-in tot he OTF, but somewhere on the SIL sight, you can take the font families and make small-caps versions out of it.
