If you use Caliber, then yes, the books do have to be on the computer as well. And if they have DRM, you'll need to install Calibre plug-ins to remove the DRM. Since you were able to send and open these ePubs on your phone, it sounds like they don't have DRM.

I buy all of my books from Amazon, download them to my computer with an older version of Kindle for PC and drop the books in Calibre. I can then sideload those books onto my Kobo. It might sound overwhelming at first, but it really isn't bad. Once you set it up once, you're done. Calibre is very handy to use with a Kobo. They play very well together.
