IC1 originates at Geneva Airport itself (confirmed by Wikipedia's InterCity route list as 'Geneva Airport-Bern-Zürich HB-St Gallen') and calls at Genève-Cornavin and Lausanne before continuing toward Bern, so a traveller starting from the airport reaches Lausanne on the same train without changing at Cornavin.

Easy to get wrong
An independent snapshot puts the fastest direct run at 49 minutes with about 72 direct services a day; a traveller who only checks the Geneva(-city)-Lausanne duration (33 minutes, per the corridor above) should add the roughly 7-16 minute airport-to-Cornavin segment rather than treat the two figures as interchangeable.
