Yes. In fact, @font-face is designed to work best with Unicode fonts and Unicode text (both UTF-8 and UTF-16). (Rather than, for example, fonts using custom encodings.)

Nicasi, “…but does svg-specs optimize the fonts for on-screen display?”
No. SVG contains zero hinting.

Ow, misspelled, second sentence should read: … but does svg-specs optimize the fonts for on-screen display?

I guess it just contains the outline, for screen resolutions this is not suitable because a font requires extra data (hints) to display nicely at small pixel/point values.
