Yes, the metadata is used on at least some devices -- for example, the Palm version uses the info from the .mbp files. The Cybook doesn't use the metadata -- though I wish it would! When I bought the Cybook I already had a large library of mobi files -- and I was very surprised to discover, as you did, that many of my books had missing/incorrect author & title information.
The mobi2mobi program from the mobiperl package developed by forum member tompe can be used to edit the metata inside a mobi file itself.
