I haven't found a ereader or app that does not use the specified size as the starting size which can be modified by the user. Line height if set in the CSS, OTOH, does seem to disable the user's ability to change line height in most cases.

As for the default font size? As far as I can tell, that is a whole other can of worms. Testing multiple ereaders, apps and web browsers gave me a rather varied selection of font heights on screen when a default font size was not specified -- this was done using a test document when the body size was defaulted to 1em and the same test document with the font-size declaration removed.
