Almost.... That's not actually being used by xetex as "the full name with...", it's the family name and the subfamily (style) name, separated by a hyphen. In most cases, the full name is equivalent to the concatenation of family and subfamily names (separated by a space), but this is not always true -- especially when the subfamily is "Regular", in which case the full name doesn't usually include it, but also in some other cases.
