Is this question for me? Under the assumption that it is ...
You are correct. If the "multiple libraries" are in fact virtual libraries in the same physical library then the process is easier. In calibre you choose the virtual library you want to see and send books from it, or send books from the non-restricted library if that is more convenient. CC sees the books as if they came from the non-restricted library. However, I assumed that the OP has different physical libraries, which is why I answered the way I did.
The grouping drawer trick mentioned above also works with virtual libraries. You create a composite custom column with a template that invoked the "virtual_libraries" template function. That function returns the names of the VLs that the book is in. If you group by that column in CC and use the long-press feature, you in effect have your calibre virtual libraries in CC.
