If the book is on your device, does that not count as a "downloaded book"?
I took @John F's meaning to be that downloaded books are those that are synced from your Kobo account though the Kobo reader seems to use it as meaning books that are present on your ereader where purchased/synced or sideloaded. This basically came from his statement:

There are many pages of authors, and only a couple of pages of downloaded books. I usually only have downloaded/sideloaded books on the device.
Books that are sideloaded will not show on your Kobo after being removed. Books that are purchased and synced will unless you choose the Remove from My Books option when removing them. Those will need to be restored from the Archive using your Kobo account. Alternately you can archive them from your Kobo account and then sync your Kobo ereader.

Basically, if Purchased, Kobo Plus and Imported don't add up to Downloaded, you have books that are sourced from Kobo but are not synced/downloaded to your ereader.
