It took me some testing to understand your last statement and maybe 
others don't exactly understand what you are describing.  To test it, I 
created a shared system calendar, a new calendar in my account, and 
shared a calendar from another user.  Add to that the default calendar 
and default "personal calendar" folders, in total I had five separate 
calendars in Roundcube and all set to sync via ActiveSync.

I created an event in each calendar, with the title being the name of 
the calendar.  In Roundcube, all events showed in their correct 
calendar.  On the Android, they were all color-coded as coming from my 
main default calendar.  So from the Android point of view, all calendars 
from Kolab were combined into the one calendar.  On the Android, I 
created an event in the only calendar that showed in my ActiveSync 
account.  It appeared on the Roundcube screen in my default calendar, 
but I was able to move it to whichever calendar I wanted via Roundcube, 
if necessary.

Based on other emails, I'm guessing for Outlook 2013 the behavior is the 
same.
