Yes, this is about the KoboTouch driver plugin that is part of calibre.

But there is one point that I'm missing and I'm sorry because it is then no more related to kobo utilities. Why it is important that kobo don't refresh it database when the same (modified or not) epub is loaded. For processing time ? Or for another purpose ?
Strictly, there is no reason to reprocess unchanged books and because it takes a long time. If you add 100 books to the device, it takes at least ten minutes. If you have 100 books on the device and add 1 more but all the the books get reprocessed, then you have ten wasted minutes until the device is ready to use. I have about 1400 books on my H2O, so don't want all of them reprocessed each time I add a book. Especially if I'm disconnecting the H2O intending to read for a little bit before bed.

And big question, Is the behavior you described with epub the same with PDF ?
It is the same for all book types.
