I don't believe that the metadata plugins alter/add the ASIN at all. If you do a MOBI-to-MOBI conversion, it has been my experience that the following are true:

1. If the MOBI has no ASIN, Calibre adds an ASIN that is a uniquely generate (UUID) value.
2. If the MOBI has an ASIN, Calibre leaves it as is, whether it is an Amazon ASIN, a Calibre-generated one, or any other value.

If you do a conversion from any other format to MOBI, #1 above also applies.
