Hence my question is how is this validation done with schema.org? Not asking how goggle does it, but how does the spec direct the look up that a Person is a type?

I auto-generate a schema.org <http://schema.org/> context using code in my implementation (see https://github.com/ruby-rdf/json-ld/blob/develop/etc/schema.org.jsonld <https://github.com/ruby-rdf/json-ld/blob/develop/etc/schema.org.jsonld>); it also includes the entire vocabulary definition (in this case, laid out for rendering using D3.js). Downside is that it is a bit chunky, but a JSON-LD processor using it as a context will ignore the vocabulary bits.

Someday, Google may publish something more like this. I’ve encouraged Dan to use something like this, but the Ruby toolset has been a barrier for that infrastructure. But, I agree that a more complete context/vocabulary definition at http://schema.org/ <http://schema.org/> would be a good idea. The HTTP version could use rel=describedby to reference the vocabulary too.
