Just like any other cover you associate with your calibre library, the jpg image will not get inserted into your mobi file until you do a conversion. Or in very special circumstances during send to device/save to disk (where recognises how to automatically update the cover, such as a calibre conversion being done on that format in the past).

Actually, no, I did find the difference in the Calibre itself, too, which is probably the source of this confusion. Even just for epub files.
When you double-click on the book that hasn't been opened before, first thing you see is the cover, and then you can scroll down to begin reading. This plugin does generate a physical jpeg file for the cover, but it doesn't insert it back into the book like the other methods do.
