So is the CPU re-allocated to other virtual machines that need them?

In KVM, virtual CPUs are just threads; if a thread does not want to run, the Linux scheduler does not give it any CPU. If the virtual machine monitor you're using is QEMU, the virtual CPU threads of a suspended VM will be waiting on a condition variable until the VM is resumed.

I take it then that RAM and disk usage are not reallocated?

No.  But RAM can be swapped out, for both suspended and running VMs.
