Yes, Latin Modern was developed as a superset of Computer Modern.
Thorough tests were carried out to make the output beautiful in all
European languages using the Latin script.

> If this user has a "Chinese" OS installation on his computer then several Chinese fonts should be available. Can you check MS Word on the computer (if installed). If MS Word has chinese fonts, then xelatex can also use those fonts.
>
> If the text is mostly English with small amounts of Greek and Chinese, then take a look at the manual of the fontspec package (look for "fontspec" in your latex installation). You can use the \newfont option to make a \greekfont and a \chinesefont and then you can do \greekfont{this is some material in greek letters}.

> Another trick is to use XeTeXinterchartoks to automatically switch. Check google for examples (simply seach for the word XeTeXinterchartoks).

This mechanism is used in the ucharclasses package, it is included in TeX Live.

> As a side note, the Code2000 font is quite old, and there are newer versions. The Code2000 font was developed originally as a "universal font" for Netscape, i.e. a font that could show all material that could be found on the internet. The font is very complete (it has glyphs for many languages and alphabets) but it is not very pretty. For any "real" published material, I'd recommend switching to other fonts, especially of you only 2 or 3 alphabets in one publication.
