Not exactly, I'm afraid :)
The xunicode package is for obtaining unicode characters through old- 
fashioned LaTeX means such as \" for accents and \textdollar for  
symbols.

To emulate Computer Modern's ligatures such as `` for “ and --- for  
—, you need to load your fonts with the "tex-text" font mapping. This  
can be done in fontspec with
   \setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{...}

Hope this helps,
