On an original Kobo the factory reset does not restore the database to the original. I know because I had a messed up database and did a couple of resets which achieved nothing before I followed the sticky noted above. (I understand for a gen2 device the factory reset actually does restore the datebase).

To completely wipe any personal things from the Kobo and make it "factory clean" I would do both the reset and the database restore.
