  3. Going to the relevant store
  4. Buying with PayPal, or credits on my account via a gift card
The Kobo apps are all able to download the purchased books.

Or in other words from experience Kobo's DRM just locks you to an account (an email address) and not a billing address/country/store.
IMHO, it's best to get your eBooks as ePub which you can remove the DRM (if there is DRM), read as ePub, or convert to KePub to read.
