I'm pretty sure you're right about that.

I may have misunderstood, but I thought the Mini wasn't going to be able to work on the Store or be setup via WiFi (because of decision last spring about older Kobos). But I guess I was confused?

Pretty easy to get confused when reading Kobo's February 28, 2019 post...

What does this mean for my Kobo Mini?

You'll need to install the mandatory update on February 28th, 2019 to continue to:

Buy eBooks on your Kobo Mini

Sync your Kobo Mini through WiFi and Kobo Desktop to get your latest book purchases

If you don't install the mandatory update, your Kobo Mini won't connect to Kobo servers. This means that you won't be able to add new eBooks to your Kobo eReader with Wi Fi or Kobo Desktop.

Is this the last software update for Kobo Mini?

As of February 28th, 2019, the Mini will no longer be supported by Rakuten Kobo. This means it will no longer receive software updates, and will not be able to connect to the Kobo Store.

Kobo Mini requires a mandatory software update by February 28th, 2019.

To stay aligned with global internet security standards, we are releasing a mandatory software update for all Kobo Mini eReaders. Without this update, the Kobo Mini will no longer be able to exit the setup process after a factory reset is performed.
I guess what they meant is if you don't update you won't be able to use the Store. But this is about as clear as mud.
