Yes it does.

I assume that kepub basically is epub plus some extra metadata, and that Calibre can handle that conversion?

A kepub is basically an epub with a span for each sentence. The span carries an id that is used for their bookmarks and reading position. There are a couple of extra files that we are not sure if are actually used.
You can simply rename an epub on the drive to use ".kepub.epub" as the extension and it will be treated as a kepub. But without the ids, if you reopen book, it will always open to the start of the chapter.
Calibre doesn't handle kepubs at all. But, there is an extra driver that generates them when you send the book to the device. It adds the ids into the book and does the renaming. It seems to work well.
One other thing is that Kobo have explicitly stated that they do not support this. It seems to work well, but there may be function in kepubs that is missing by doing it this way.
