I think that's the general idea. But, it should also do something with "Only on send". I usually say to set to automatic and had to check the driver code to see what happened. For automatic, the metadata sending job is triggered after the device is connected. For "Only on send", it is triggered after sending a book, or group of books. It should do the same thing, just at a different timing. For the Kobo devices, the recommendation for automatic is because of the need to do things the next time the device is seen after books are sent. There are things that can only be done after the device has processed the book into its internal database.
