Yes, that's right.

I'm not quite sure I follow, but perhaps it's because I have no experience with what the KDP process provides for you (in the way of a .mobi file to verify) when uploading ePubs. I only know what Kindlegen creates and what ultimately gets delivered to customers.

Not at all. The dual-format scenario definitely adds layers of complexity.

I certainly didn't
mean to reassure you of that. As I mentioned, I have no experience with what sort of *.mobi file(s) someone who submits ePubs to KDP gets returned to them for verification. But I suspect they're nearly identical to what kindlegen would produce locally. I'd have no trouble believing the original source isn't included, though.
