Create a new custom content type document in managed content type library via CSOM

Question

I would like to add a couple of custom content type documents to a library that has managed content types enabled via 2013 CSOM. Most of the documentation I have seen shows how to upload documents to a library but I am attempting to create "blank" instances of these content types. I would like to essentially mimic the same actions that happen when I click the down arrow under the "New Document" button and add a new document of the specified content type.

Am I supposed to simple point the byte stream at the content type template address and "upload" it that way? How will the library know what content type I am uploading?

I searched for "sharepoint 2013 csom add content type to list" and got these links. You are seeing it as creating but it actually is adding existing content type to a list. Hope i got the question right!
