I don't know where you got that info. The Kobo Android app wouldn't be my first choice for reading epubs but it is perfectly possible to read 3rd-party epubs in the Kobo app as long as the epub file exists on the Android device.
Other app features available to both Kobo Store purchases and 3rd-party books are: group by Author, Collections, book synopsis display.
However, the group by Series feature does seem to be limited to purchases from the Kobo Store.
