@iostrym: As DNSB said, yes, but it is limited to the metadata that the Kobo firmware stores in the internal database. The update metadata function updates the database, not the books. The metadata that can be updated is title, author, series, ISBN, comments/synopsis, language, publisher and published date. That is from memory, so I might have missed something, but tags are not something the Kobe ereaders use.

If want to update the actual books, just send them again. As long as the structure of the books do not change, there is no problem. The driver does an update of the database to make sure the device doesn't see it as changed book. The changes that could cause problems are changes to the ToC, the names of the internal files or adding or removing a file. In those cases you should remove the book first and then send it again. Changes such as fixing spelling or styles or the metadata won't cause a problem.
