Essentially you have to make an account, but the email is not checked, so if you give a bogus email, you effectively get a bogus account (which you can not remove without going back to the email prompt, yeah).
Without making an account, you can still make the USB connection and you can install mods from there, so in theory you could install koreader and have it autostart instead of going through nickel (everything Kobo's firmware frontend), and that'd give you a device that does not even need the bogus account.
There used to be instructions how to inject a fake account directly into the database, but this method changed a lot between updates, not sure if still possible currently, putting down any kind of mail address is easy enough there's not much motivation to explore alternatives.
