Yes, JPEG has only RGB channels.
BTW, I've supposed (maybe wrong) if CMYK ICC profile is applied to RGB image
(offset printing in my case), it will be displayed on monitor (or exported
to any format) similarly to the printed output (~ soft proof). I know it
from Photoshop where the mode can be switched from RGB to CMYK. You can
observe color changes without necessity to have original image saved in CMYK
mode. If image have to be distributed, yes, it must be saved first (jpeg or
tiff format).

For those who are interested, if JPEG is converted into CMYK:
- in Photoshop: it is read in Batik, but on my PC both JPEG and PDF outputs
are in negative.
- via ImageMagick: Batik complains that JPEG URL is corrupt or unsupported
variant
It discouraged me from trying to make very basic 'soft proof' of SVG file in
Batik. I'll use RGB images.
Thanks to all for response.
