I don't believe you need to go to Amazon's website to complete the borrowing process, either. The books are sent to the Kindle cloud where they can be downloaded to any Kindle that is attached to the account.

In the quote above, you were the one who mentioned going to Amazon's site to download the book and tied it to Overdrive integration. This matches up with what I have read on Overdrive's website:
You'll be taken to Amazon's website to finish getting the ebook.
Note: You must complete this step for the book you borrowed to appear in the "Your Content and Devices" list in your Amazon account. If the book doesn't appear in this list, you won't be able to download it on any device.
Since borrowing library books with a Kindle doesn't work outside of the USA, I don't have the personal experience to agree or disagree with your statement that going to Amazon's website in a browser is not needed to complete borrowing the ebook but I would have to go with Overdrive's information barring someone who actually makes use of borrowing Overdrive books for a Kindle stating differently.
