NO.
This is not how it works.
The origianal, firmware supplied fbreader.app sits somewhere in the /ebrmain folder that you can only see if you use the poterm terminal emulator.
When you install fbreader180 by copying it into E:/system/bin/fbreader.app, the original application stays on the device. The system is just cleverly configured in such a way (BIG thank you, Guys in Kiev (TM)) that the device will use the application it finds in E:/system/bin/ directory rather then the one that sits somewhere on the /ebrmain folder.
When you remove your "installed" fbreader.app the situtation goes back to the original state. Unless you messed with extensions.cfg
The $PATH variable (where the system looks for location of binaries) is set up in such a way, that it first looks into user accessible folder E:/system/bin/ and if it does not find the binary there it looks at the system memory.
So by simply copying fbreader.app to E:/system/bin/ and then removing it you do not touch the original application.
