I've already tested with Epub, and Kepub files, and I'm almost sure, that when I first used my Kobo, the e-books was showing the same number of pages as the physical book.

The number of pages will vary with a .kepub.epub file where a display page is counted as a book page so changes in font size, margins, line spacing, etc. will change the number of pages in a chapter/book.
With a .epub file using the Adobe synthetic page number algorithm, the page numbers should be independent of font/margin/line spacing/whatever.
The only epubs I've seen that had page numbers that matched a
specific edition of a physical book were ones that implemented either a page-map.xml or <navMap> workaround. Even with textbooks, such ebooks are rara avis.
Please note the reference to a specific edition -- I have multiple copies of several physical books and the number of pages varies not only between paperback, trade and hardcover editions but even between different printings of the same format.
