Is that true on Windows?
What I see when I open a book in the editor is that calibre creates a folder in %CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR% with two subfolders (0000_xxxx and 0001.xxxx) each containing a hardlink clone of the book content files, if I change a file, the original remains in 0000.xxxx and the new will be in 0001_xxxx, obviously they're no longer hardlinked to the same data.
I've not tried putting the temporary location on a file system that doesn't support hardlinks, such as FAT32 or ReFS
