It depends on your setup. The default when no size is given is to use half the RAM.

Half? That seems kind of excessive. Are you sure that’s right?

I would guess that it’s given that capacity, but the memory is allocated lazily.

Correct; tmpfs only uses as much memory as as is used by the files it contains.
