That is what it does, but one of the things it also does is a cleanup of the database. This is because deleting a book doesn't completely remove things from the database on the device, it marks them as deleted. Then, during the sync, it can check if that record needs to be updated in or removed from the central store and then removed from the device. The reason to do this is if you do a factory reset, Kobo will know that the missing records are accidental rather than deliberate.
