lmodern is automatically installed to MiKTeX or TeXLive when installing LyX. This is done by
configure.py that calls chkconfig.ltx that in turn asks LaTeX if the package lmodern is installed.
If not, MiKTeX and TeXLive will automatically install it.

What do you mean? The default font encoding is T1. When you set the document language to e.g.
Russian, T2A is used as encoding. The font default for T2A is not CM and thus you get another font
(I don't know its name right now).
By setting the font encoding to T1 this does not always mean that really T1 is used. Thanks to LaTeX
efforts like XeTeX, this setting can be ignored for most fonts. However, I'm not a real expert in
this font-specific stuff.
