Hi Jeff,
The holes are for screws that hold the whole coaming assembly together, if it were all glued would be very difficult to reskin it if it needs it at a later date.
I just stapled the fabric to the base layer that's attached to the rest of the frame, then later on recessed the staples (hammered them in) and then bolted the rest of the coaming on once the deck is done.
The coaming isn't really any different than the plywood coamings on the S&G boats.
