Structurally, a kepub is an epub. Assuming no DRM, any kepub should open fine in any epub viewer. And, any epub should open fine in the kepub viewer on a Kobo device. But, the kepub viewer expects certain things in the book code to work properly (eg. spans for navigation, all internal files in ToC) and can treat some code differently or uses different defaults (eg. ignores widows and orphans).

For sideloaded books on a Kobo device, it is simply whether the extension is ".epub" or ".kepub.epub" whether it is treated as an epub or kepub.
