There's no need for an Origin header and the SSL cert would match. That's the whole premise of domain fronting. You send the request to whatever IP resloves as Google.com, but when you make the request, your Host header is for the AppEngine instance. Because of the way Google (and AWS and I'm sure many others) route requests, they don't care that you're using the cert for Google.com, they just happily route you to whatever Host you specify. You may have to spoof some headers to do the 101 Switching Protocol correctly, but you have all the information you need to do it.
