Yes, have done the 7.1.4 DTS:X 'Object Emulator', as well as the channel check you posted. These, as well as the ATMOS 'Amaze' and other clips result in sound coming as expected from all 4 height speakers.

So officially - with the provided Android APIs it doesn't work.
Kodi only can pass it through by using it's own IEC Packer which maybe is not compatible with all AV-Receivers and Soundbars.
So better test it for your Setup right after buying and then hope Amazon doesn't change something to kill the unofficial Way Kodi is using.

i have the cube gen3 with a samsung soundbar
it is important to note that the cube hdmi out is connected directly to the soundbar as the soundbar would not receive passthrough audio for me otherwise
my model soundbar doesnt show much information the display shows "hdmi" most of the time, when i play something with atmos it will actually scroll "Dolby Atmos" across the display
i also have it connected to SmartThings and it wont show me anything either
so, how to answer your question is difficult to confirm with 100% certainty what is being received by the soundbar outside of the atmos scenario, i do have passthrough on and i get audio, the cube's output is configured as PCM
one other thing to note its that hdmi cables are not created equally or with the highest of A/V standards in mind so ive found the cables from zeskit to be very good at handling everything - https://www.zeskit.com/maya21
