Ligatures are used for the font but the difference between the characters without ligatures is minimal. When you process the following document you can see the difference between the f-combinations without (top picture) and with (bottom picture) ligatures.

\define[2]\Test
  {\startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
     \vbox\bgroup \offinterlineskip
       \ruledhbox{\definedfont[file:#1*none    sa 10]#2}
       \ruledhbox{\definedfont[file:#1*default sa 10]#2}
     \egroup
   \stopTEXpage}

\starttext

% TeX Gyre Termes Regular

%\Test{texgyretermesregular}{fi}

% Ubuntu Regular

\Test{ubuntur}{ff}
\Test{ubuntur}{fi}
\Test{ubuntur}{fl}
\Test{ubuntur}{ffi}
\Test{ubuntur}{ffl}

% Ubuntu Light

\Test{ubuntul}{ff}
\Test{ubuntul}{fi}
\Test{ubuntul}{fl}
\Test{ubuntul}{ffi}
\Test{ubuntul}{ffl}

\stoptext
