CSS has a @font-face
rule which allows us to "use" custom fonts.
Does JavaScript have this functionality?
More specifically, is it possible to "use" custom fonts without using the CSS @font-face
rule?

There is no way to cause the browser to load a font from the network other than with a @font-face
rule. You could theoretically create that @font-face
rule from JavaScript without having to use document.write
(or document.createElement("style")
etc), if instead you used the CSS Object Model; but I wouldn't count on that to be implemented in any browser at the moment.
if you know CSS you can use document.write
to append a style sheet dynamically... I guess that would count as using CSS, but it would work
No. There's not. Javascript can manipulate the DOM, but it doesn't care about formatting.
yes you can:
document.body.style.fontFamily = '...';
here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/QMZ8N/
this only adds a predefined font to an element.
This does NOT add a font style to the page. for that you might have to use CSS
