I might be misunderstanding though, so I'd appreciate any clarification.
It does everything except the stardict conversion. You can use PyGlossary to convert directly to a Kobo dictionary (it's based on dictutil), or you can convert it to dictutil's custom human-readable dictfile format to make manual edits and/or merge it with other dictionaries first.

Dictutil is a set of tools which can compile, decompile, unpack, pack, install, and do other things with Kobo dictionaries.

The main advantage of using dictutil to install dictionaries is that it'll handle differences between firmware versions for you.
