Yes there are some kids from non-ESF kinder. However, based on the above criteria, for local Chinese (Category 2), graduates from ESF kinder has a priority over those from non-ESF kinder.

I was told by an ESF kinder principal during a presentation that if an interview is offered, usually the applicants will be admitted. That means interviews are not offered to all applicants and unqualified applicants will be not interviewed.
I was also told that every year only 1-2 ESF applicants from each ESF kinder (~100 students?) was not offered a place after interview (excluding those who did not apply).
In my girl's case, all of her ESF kinder classmates were admitted by ESF primary/RC.
Whether your child can get an interview offer during the first round also depends on which ESF primary school you are applying for. Some schools receive more applicants than others, so local Chinese might have a lower chance in getting in.
I don't think most Starters graduates would have problems in English in order to pass ESF interviews because over 90% of them are accepted by various ESF primary schools, like Quarry Bay S., Kennedy S. and Bradbury S. Of course their English standard also depends on whether the kids' family is providing them with an English environment at home.
