If you download it to one of the apps, probably not. It will be an AZW file like anything else. But if you download it from your Amazon library there's a good chance it will have an AZW3 extension. I'm not sure about files downloaded directly to devices that support KF8... I don't have one.

Does Calibre still identify it as a mobi file?

Yes. But recent versions of calibre know how to recognize and convert KF8 files. The very latest will recognize the AZW3 extension, as well.

If you buy a book that is KF8, and you buy it for a K2, does it send a different file type? Or is there something in the DRM that allows it to open on a K2?

Yes it sends a different file completely. Amazon delivers only the file-type that the device/app can handle. So while the file delivered to a PC (Kindle for PC/Mac) or a Kindle Fire may be in the KF8 format, the same ebook delivered to a K2/K3 will be a regular old mobi.
