Kodi itself will never auto-update the app. The only things that auto-update (if set to do so) are addons.
The only time when something like that happens is if it is installed via a store (Google Play Store or Windows Store) and in such cases it is the store that updates, not Kodi.
Any update in Kodi for the app itself is always manual, the mentioned addon is only for notification. It may be worth that addon being disabled by default under Raspi OS, but as noted we don't supply this so it's not for us to decide or do. Maybe something for @rascas to consider?
