It depends on the format the publisher uploads to Amazon. Only KFX or MOBI7 will delivered to customers if reflowable KPF is used.

Uploading an EPUB, DOCX, or Master MOBI will result in MOBI7, KF8 and usually KFX.

Have I got that part right?

You can target different Kindle formats using media queries in EPUB to adjust the rendering of books.
You can just upload the EPUB to Amazon and they will produce the Kindle formats from it. You don't need to use kindlegen other than for testing.
