There is currently no check on the "quality" of the book format, of the file as it is added to the file structure, just the normal checks that it is a structurally sound file with one of the many extensions that the KOReader reader engines can handle. (Some extensions that could be read, are not normally implemented, but can be added.)
The nickel book processing seems to only be validating that the OPF and NCX are valid. It might also check the file structure, but it doesn't check the validity of the HTML code. For the NCX, it doesn't check the files and locations it points to exist, just the structure is valid. I haven't had a file that broke the processing for a very long time.

There is no special treatment that differentiates between files for ebooks bought from Kobo and those acquired elsewhere.
There isn't for nickel either when you disconnect the device. Purchased books are downloaded handled as they are downloaded to the device, or by the desktop app when it syncs the books. (I'm only commenting on this because you seem to be making a point, but I don't know what it is.)
