Unfortunately that is not the case. Amazon would know you did not download the KU book to your PW3. You can test it this way:
  1. download KU book to both KT and PW3
  2. extract AZW3 from KT, deDRM, no editing, leave meta data alone
  3. connect PW3 to calibre, remove the KFX book, upload the DRM free AZW3
  4. make sure your PW3 still thinks that the book you have still has a KU label
  5. attempt to return the book from your PW3
  6. sync both KT and PW3, see if book disappeared (if it is, then success)
If that worked, try again with a different book, but modify the book a little bit. See if the PW3 is still spoofed to think the replaced AZW3 file is from KU. I don't believe the extra files are necessary, if they are, the PW3 should automatically download them or regenerate them.
