If you open an ebook with calibre's E-book viewer, then no... there is no automatic import of any kind. You're just opening/viewing the ebook from wherever the file is in your filesystem.

not that I'm a fan of adobe, but I want a format that is editable, ie. allows me to make notes, hightlight/underline text, delete pages, add links, all of that kind of stuff...

If you want to get your ebooks into a format that is easily editable, then epub is probably what you're looking for (or HTML) rather than PDF. Even if you get everything edited exactly how you want it in the PDF document, you're going to be frustrated with the results (with whatever program you use) when you try to convert that perfect PDF back into one of the standard (epub, mobi) ebook formats.
