So, in essence it should be the same as having the MOBI Output set to "both"? Because here the sync does not really work as expected.
Or is there something fundamentally different when pushing the file through KindleGen locally and not automatically like when sending the book via mail?

There are differences in a MOBI fle produced using the "both" option of calibre and a Master MOBI created using kindlegen either by running it yourself or as the result of emailing a source file to Amazon. One difference is that calibre's MOBI "both" lacks a DATP record which contains the data needed for proper synchronization of reading position between formats.

Amazon will not accept an AZW3 file via email so you can't add it to your account and it will not sync between devices.
