The hCard is effectively ordinary XHTML. You would indeed apply CSS to make it look like you want. So at a superficial level -- visually -- there's nothing of interest.

What is embedded, however, is semantic depth, since you're describing your information in what should be a standard way. Clients such as search engines or downstream scripts/programs can read into your hCarded text, identify what's what, and hopefully do useful things with it.

A hCard is as much like a card as a cascading stylesheet is like a sheet of paper. It's a poor simile; there's not more much to it than bits of code.
