I wouldn't be surprised if Kindles do the same in at least one (maybe more) of the Amazon book formats.
Kobos are certainly able to display true small-caps by using the industry standard method of embedding a suitable font in the book. I'd hope Kindles would be the same, but I don't know.
There are tricks you can use on a Kobo (kepub or epub) to avoid font embedding by referencing a sideloaded true small-caps font with suitable CSS. It's probably more effort than most users want to be bothered with.

With Mobi you have to do the simulated small caps. It's a shame that Adobe didn't support small caps properly. If they did, we would not need to code for small caps.
