Well, that's something more for Calibre to do. The plugin is just meant to convert the Calibre information into collections, with some additional abilities for convenience.
One possible way to do this 'automatically' in Calibre is to use the custom column ability to create columns based on the title for your tag. Now this may not be the best way to do it, but you could do a simple approach of creating 1 custom column per tag (using the 'based on other columns' option), and in each of the template fields put something like: {title:contains(tgSki,Ski,)} This will put the word Ski in the column if the book's title contains tgSki, otherwise it will be blank. You'd have to create one custom column per tag. Then use the plugin and select 'Create' for those columns, and the collection 'Ski' will be created with those books.
It'd be nicer to have multiple tags in one column. The template can do it, but the problem is that the result is seen as a single text string and not a list of tags. So the plug only sees, for example "Ski,Other,Tag" as one word instead of 3 tags - not what is needed.
There doesn't seem to be a drop down option in create custom columns to create a column based on other columns but treat the result like a list of tags.

I am from being into coding... But I thought that Collections were different "Views" of (in some cases) the same document. This is why I label them with multiple tags.

Absolutely. I just said that the plugin couldn't handle multiple tags for one entry using the rename fields. The rename is a simple from one name to one other name and isn't meant to create multiple tags.
