To expand on @Karellen's response, your Kobo only stores ebooks/audiobooks purchased from Kobo in their cloud. Other than you choosing to use the Dropbox integration built into some Kobo models, sideloaded books are not stored outside your device.
As for registering, Kobo requires an email address to register but they do not verify the email address so you can invent anything that looks like an email address and use it to register (noneofyourbusiness@erehwon.org as an example).
As for the audio file format, it appears to be mp3 files wrapped in a zip archive (filetype is mp3z). You might want to check a thread
