No, having a font file with kerning pairs makes no difference in kepub renderer. All of my sideloaded typefaces have kerning pairs. I have licenses for GT Sectra, Storm Baskerville and Livory. Their kerning pairs work in epubs, they don't work in kebups.

RMSDK belongs to Adobe and Kobo doesn't have any say in it. Kepub, on the hand, while uses Netfront engine, is still Kobo's own format. Netfront's engine is originally an epub renderer anyway, Kobo clearly modified it or have Netfront modify it. Moreover, Netfront engine in Kobo supports kerning as we can see with Amasis. Therefore it is clear that the problem is with Kobo, they should enable kerning support for sideloaded typefaces too.
PS. Engine Kobo uses is called PUBLUS this days, here:
