Kobo uses Adobe's RMSDK for rendering epub2 ebooks so hard to say they've mooched the iOS rendering engine. For epub3 (.kepub.epub or .fxl.kepub.epub), they use the ACCESS NetFront™ BookReader EPUB Edition which is based on WebKit though some claims are that it was originally developed using the KHTML/KJS libraries from KDE which are ancestral to WebKit.
For what it's worth, the RMSDK renderer respects widows/orphans with a default of 2/2 if not overwritten in the CSS while the ACCESS renderer disregards them (equivalent to setting both to 1) so if you are seeing widows/orphans affecting the display on a Kobo ereader, you're using RMSDK.
