The Kobo update does not access those partitions through USB. You copy the KoboRoot.tgz file into the .kobo directory and safely eject the Kobo. At that point, the Kobo's OS will see the update file and install it. That process runs in the Linux OS installed on the Kobo and with access to all the partitions.
To repeat myself, the Kobo ereader only exposes the FAT32 data partition over USB. It is not as if it connected the internal storage directly to the USB connection.
