That's just the software for mark-up.
Curiously the Kobe pen (and my MS Survace 3rd party one) works on the Libra 2, but only on the sketch pad (which can be enabled on Sage & Elipsa by devmodeon). It does fat if you hold lower button and erase on upper.
On the Kobo the pressure sense is used to either mark/draw or not rather than vary darkness or width, again that's just software. The Wacom and Wacom EMR can start to move cursor or draw (on occasion and depending on device) before you press on the screen, though even my oldest serial port Wacom "tablet" was pressure sensitive. The USB Bamboo seems to be similar HW but just serial over USB. The X201 Lenovo Wacom digitiser is an internal serial device. The regular Wacom and Wacom EMR seem similar but are not compatible. I tried swapping the Wacom EMR on the reMarkable with the other Wacom styluses.
I've tried Apple Pencil on Sage and Kobo/MS Pen on iPad. That's a fourth incompatible system. I've only seen rechargeable Apple Pencils and a €20 3rd party one works perfectly on iPad.
I think the Nebo files from Sage/Elipsa work on Nebo on iPad, but not vice versa.
Obviously the Libra 2 has the digitiser, unlike the Libra H2O. I wonder will they release an update for annotation and Nebo/Notebooks. The Sage or Elipsa FW won't work directly as those are different HW from each other and Libra 2.

The Wacom styluses (regular and EMR) are full of electronics and sensors, but powered from the host drawing tablet or digitizer under the screen. The battery powered ones (Kobo/MS or Apple) might be simpler.
The original Wacom has no tilt sensor, which the Kobo/MS and Apple do. It's also maybe only 256 levels of pressure. The 4096 is a bit mad on a screen with only 14 grey, black and white!
