How would a 1080p monitor display an output of 1280 x 1024?

Either GPU scaling or display scaling.
Since the monitor has a hardware scalar, you may get more quality (marginally) than using the GPU. So you can use ToastyX Custom resolution utility to create a custom 1280x1024 resolution (not sure if LCD automatic or CRT standard) and enter your refresh rate.
Then at the refresh rate you specified, you can use the monitor OSD to select aspect or 1:1 centered scaling or full screen. For the other refresh rates that you did not specify in the custom resolution, your *GPU* would be scaling them from 1920x1080, so you have to use the video card scaling settings in its driver panel (full/aspect/1:1).
Any resolution that the monitor can identify in its OSD directly is a hardware display scaled resolution and the monitor controls the scaling settings. If the monitor says it's 1920x1080, then it's the GPU doing the scaling. Entering EDID overrides in ToastyX CRU will force that refresh rate you specify to be display scaled.
Note: display scaling non native resolutions may not work in directX 10+ games; sometimes the game will switch to a different refresh rate than the one specified in the EDID override, in which case you need to force GPU scaling instead.
