Correct. It's opening up the book and reading metadata, which includes title,author, book cover, etc.

When I try to add books with this option unchecked (so that the filename populates the metadata), I no longer get the .jpg cover files in the folder.

Again - correct. With this option it doesn't open the book, so there's nowhere to get the cover.

Is the cover image considered 'metadata', and if so, how do I retain this image when I import the .LIT file?

The cover image is metadata, but is not always treated the same as other metadata. Regardless, there's no cover in the filename, so when you get metadata from the filename, you get no cover. You have to get it separately.
