Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
To boot into the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
