Updating an unlocked T-mobile Note 3 with latest firmware.. Is it possible??

Hey guys,
Saw a very good deal on ebay india, the seller is selling an unlocked version Note - 3 T-mobile (US), so it can work on Indian GSM carriers.
Now, if you see the description: it mentions:
"The OS Software is Unlocked to Work with all GSM SIMS.
You are not supposed to Update the OS Software as Unlock code is applied to it"
2 quick questions:
1) Can you help me understand what does the seller mean here? The device will obviously be running on JB, so i wont be able to update it to the officially released Kitkat? Will manually flashing a firmware from say Sammobile, revert the unlock code and make the device useless?
2) Buying a US phone for Indian use.. Will i miss out on any features? or will it be a problem in any way??
Please help me out guys

hi.. just wanna ask a simple question. my sister from u.s gave me her note 8 here in the philippines. the phone is open line already, and any sim here in the philippines can be use. i'm planning to update it with android pie using odin. now my question is, does flashing CSC will make my phone lock again to its original network provider? or it will stay open to any sim here in the philippines?
