Unfortunately, the answer is "Yes." To put it another way, all metadata is stored in the database - metadata.db. If there's metadata stored anywhere else, it's a byproduct of the fact that Calibre accesses files by labeling them with bits of metadata, or because the user has intentionally stored that metadata elsewhere in a backup, opf file or inside a format/file by making a same format conversion.
(More accurately, on point 3, I believe the database does not store whether the book has a "cover.jpg." Calibre just looks to see if it exists.)
