That will depend on what you did. The later firmware doesn't remove the Dictionary table, it just stops using it. If you had done a factory reset and gone straight to 4.22.x, you would not have the table. Downloading without a factory reset or signing out of the Kobo account would not trigger creation of the table.
If you have a working system with the Dictionary table and update or download, the table will be there. The next sync will just populate it, or ignore it depending on the firmware version.
The complication to this is that the table has become less important over the last few firmware versions. I think with 4.19.x, it is used for syncing, but, not when doing a look up. Or, it might be the other way round. I think that if you have the dictionary files, but no Dictionary table, it will work for a bit, but, sooner or later it will stop working. I'll admit to not having tested this. I just use the supplied dictionaries and don't fiddle with them.
