@hsawires I hope you won't mind me asking a couple of questions

Are you able to enter Authors, Titles etc as RTL Arabic text into the Metadata Edit dialogue etc and see it on the Book List, Book Details etc?
If the answer to 1 is 'Yes' and given Kovid's input, why does it matter how Calibre creates it's library folder and file names.

Providing what one gets within Calibre itself, and what ones gets on anything that Calibre exports has real author and book names etc in the appropriate character set then its naming of folders and files in the library is 'theoretically' irrelevant. I sometimes wonder if it might have been 'better' if Kovid had decided to use the Author and Book identifiers (integers) to create folder and file names.
Is Calibre's ability to integrate with phones, e-book readers and tablets one of your key requirements.
