2004 templates to user with 2008; fonts change in files saved back

Templates have normal as arial in 2004 -- does that get updated to Cambria in 2008?

It isn't version that causes font substitution, it's font availability.
Create & save a document on any one system, remove the font that was used &
when you reopen the doc a different font will be supplied in place of the
one that's missing... At least that's the general rule

If Arial was used in the doc & the recipient (Mac or PC) has Arial installed
the program won't arbitrarily change the font to something else.

No. You would have to upgrade the styles manually if you want that change.

New versions of templates supplied with Office 2008 will use Cambria in
place of Arial.

I would recommend that users do change: Cambria is a more modern version of
Unicode with a wider range of characters available. And *I* think it looks
much nicer
