Unfortunately, this info is missing in the Gee section of the tutorial,
but you can see it here:

Only the 'GLib' namespace and '--pkg glib-2.0' are imported by default.

Yes. It's primarily related to the .vapi file name and secondarily to
the pkg-config (.pc) name. If a corresponding pkg-config file exists its
configuration is passed to the C compiler.

Importing a namespace with 'using' is independent from packages. A
package may contain multiple namespaces. And you don't have to import
namespaces. For example, if you don't import 'Gtk' you must use the
classes with fully qualified names (e.g. 'Gtk.Button', 'Gtk.Label'
instead of 'Button', 'Label').
