It's exactly as you wrote. I'll try to explain about "exported kindle drive". Kindle uses Linux file system internally. But, not all of the filesystem is available when you simply connect it to a windows box, but only a part of it. That part that you can see is "exported kindle drive". I hope this makes more sense to you.
As far as I remember,
customupdates folder should be made automatically after installing launchpad, but if that's not the case, you can create it manually.
Having
customupdates is just a matter of convenience. It simply allows you to use Shift-Shift-I combination to unpack whatever zip archive is in that folder. You can also unpack it manually if you want, and put Librerator folder from the archive on whatever windows shows as root. In that case, you'll also need to copy files from Launchpad folder from the archive to the Launchpad folder on your kindle manually, and then press Shift-Shift-Space.

Yes, you will be able. Depending on the language, you might need to change the default font to see all of the characters.
As
@twobob suggested, you can also use KUAL to start Librerator. I find it more convenient to use Launchpad on my K3 (and take advantage of all those buttons
), but different people have different preferences
.
