You are correct. Assuming automatic metadata management, the "update cached metadata" operation does one of the job steps performed during a connection (send metadata to device). It was added when the "Match books to library" command was added because if the metadata was not re-written then matching on the next connect would fail. It turned out to be quite useful after doing a lot of metadata editing while connected, again saving some time over a full connect cycle.

EDIT: fix the reason why sending metadata was added along with match books to library.
