If latter, than it would be worse than android. Every device will be tied not only to your phone, but to your credit card number and name + address. And Jolla will keep this info somewhere. And it could be hacked or stolen.
I think they could have a generic image and the "paid" stuff could be installed later from the store after some sort of activation/license code entry/whatever. I think it could more or less work out of the box (minus the activation bits) as it's already possible to install Android & Exchange support from the store.

BTW why you don't want different per-user images:
  • you need to store or generate sizeable per user image vs just storing a single generic image per device
  • harder to verify you image is not corrupt or maliciously modified, as you would need to provide & check checksums per user
  • all the privacy implications of tying personal details and device information together by the per-user image
