Yes, since the Vox is so new, there aren't any totally compatible chargers on the market yet, either from Kobo or third party. It seems that someone else's 2 amp charger will do the job, but won't show on the battery indicator. Most 3rd party chargers on the market don't even show the amps in their specs. Twice I've used a generic 500ma charger and it immediately knocked the battery indicator down below 10% even when I started out with more than half a charge. However, there was no permanent damage, because the Vox charger put things right again.
