If a man is born blind and learns to distinguish between a sphere and a cube by touch alone, if he one day gains the ability to see, would he then be able to immediately distinguish between the two by only using sight?

i assume so because he'll recognise the shape of the textures ie the pointy bit of the cube compared to the roundness (which he would recognise the feel of the curvature of from when he was blind

But - assuming he doesn’t have something to use as a reference point, would he be able to process what pointy and roundness look like?

If he sees TyTy he’ll know what roundness looks like.
