No. You must also copy the contents of the preferences folder, which you can find by going to preferences -> advanced -> miscellaneous and pushing the 'open calibre configuration directory' button.
Note that if you are changing between operating systems (e.g., windows -> mac), preferences might not go over cleanly. I don't know if there are OS-dependent values in there.
To complete the picture: the metadata.db file contains: custom column definitions, saved searches, plugboards, user categories, column positions and alignments, and conversion options. These will move with the library, and do not require moving the preferences.
