Well. What you mean is that writers who write Lojban use Latin, or Tengwar, or Cyrillic orthography. (Lojban itself is a language, and languages don't use anything.)
As for your second point, I think that what you mean is that the standard Lojban orthography tends to make use of the capitalization and punctuation common in Latin typography in a different way than other languages do.
Except of course that some people use acute vowels instead of capital vowels for anomalous stress, and some people use guillemets, and some people use question marks and exclamation marks. At least that's what people are saying. But those are variations of Latin typographic conventions used to write the language.
Michael.
