Nope, kernel and bootloader are included (in the upgrade folder) of the full zip update package (the KoboRoot tarball is only part of a FW update). They're just very rarely updated (unless the device was recently released), because the kernel appears to be mainly handled by the OEM (NTX), not Kobo. But the update process does flash 'em.
