Note that if you have a book on which that has already been done then you want to make sure that the Remove First Image option is checked or the page generated previously will still be there as I think it is inserted as an image (I could be wrong there).
The Insert metadata as the first page creates a book jacket that has the title, author rating, tags, series, publisher and comments. In epub this is marked as jacket.html, in Mobi I believe it is inserted as part of the book. In either case this is not a image it is text that has configurable parts customizable under the stylesheet.css in the CalibreConfig\resources\jacket\ directory.

In epub books the book jacket is automatically replaced whenever a book is converted as long as the existing book jacket was created with calibre version 0.6.50 or later.

The Remove First Image option is for removing the first image and in epub has nothing to do with the book jacket.
