initial version

Actually it is not implemented in ROS at all, but running at the system level so ROS/any program can be agnostic and just use system time.

The initial sync via NTP is usually very quick, but this is something you would trigger. What chrony actually does is slow a clock slightly to match times, so that there are no big changes is system time for the exact reason that you recognized.
