No, perhaps you misunderstood what icallaci said - Kobo has no built-in monospace font (surprising, I know). You need to

- do the kobo_extra.css trick from the post #3 link and
- at least one of the other 3 options (<div>, <span> or my special Patch).

The kobo_extra.css will then add the monospace @font-faces to every epub you subsequently send-to-device with calibre. Most epubs won't need or use it but those that contain instances of font-family:monospace should use it correctly.
If you don't have the patch you posted, you'll need to set for document default. Question: what font is the font used with document default if there is no embedded font? In the eBook I am reading, monospace is used to differentiate things and it works well. But without it, it loses that and that's not a good thing.
