The simple answer is no. There are quite a few epub renderers that pay minimal to no attention to embedded CSS. After all, the developer who created the renderer knows how every book should be displayed so no need for the embedded CSS. Look at Moon+ reader where the user has to dig into the preferences to enable CSS (at least as of about 8 months ago).
