The most important thing that the Sony plugins pull from the sony database are the collections, which have no equivalent in calibre. IIRC the rest of the metadata comes from the file, but as it has been many years since I wrote much of that code I am not certain.
The file contains the complete calibre metadata in JSON format for each known book. I have written code to go from OPF to JSON, but have never had a need to go the other way.
