Simple, all ebooks bought in the Kobo shop because the don't limit this feature to one or a few file formats and Kobo doesn't mention a 'special kind of epub' in the list of supported file formats: Kobos proprietary epub, the kepub.
I could go a step further by saying every item bought in the Kobo shop and stored on Kobos servers. As you can't upload non-Kobo bought books it is clear that those can not be synced.
Supported file formats eBooks: EPUB, PDF, and MOBI.
Images: JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF.
Text: TXT, HTML, XHTML, and RTF.
Comic Books: CBZ and CBR.
Based on the list above I would expect that syncing of epub, pdf and mobi files are automatically synced. Because these are types (formats) of ebooks.
BTW, I do understand your point but Kobo should state this more clearly.
Now they are very cryptic or creative with words to avoid to mention what they should have mentioned very clearly: syncing between devices is only supported for our own proprietary format. But that format is not on the list.
I don't blame them for advertising with a statement as "Automatic synchronization between Kobo devices." as long I can read in the product details or fine print that this exclusively and only applies to only one specific file format.
