Yes for the whole book, Kobo cannot use a relative page numbering because they would need to render the whole book in order to count all the page turns it involves... And this can be a quite intensive task in long books. So they go to an absolute page numbering system like the epub one.
(Of course this happens because Kobo wants... Kobo uses a database in order to store a lot of settings of the books. So they could have perfectly coded a background process in order to render the whole book once, and then annotate that number of page turns in the database... But they hadn't... They've gone the easy way...)
Nevertheless, take in mind that some people actually prefer an absolute page numbering system and others a relative one...
