Yes, same deal - so far as I can tell, there is no way to add books to your Kobo library which you didn't purchase from them, and no way to open a book (in an email or other) in a specific application. It's possible there might be a way around this by downloading a third party file picker that you can specify which app "opens with", but I haven't found an app yet for it.
The only app that lets you read books not directly purchased from the app maker's library is Stanza, so far as I can tell. Stanza will let you read books from any source - email, website, stanza desktop, calibre catalog xml, etc. This is great, except that Stanza doesn't support Adobe ePub DRM. They were going to at one point, and then they were purchased by Amazon and the dev plan was dropped.
The only way I've found to read Sony ePubs on the iPhone at this point is to break the DRM and use Stanza.
I have heard well-substantiated rumblings, though, that Sony is making an app.
