No, plugins store their configuration in the calibre configuration directory.

"metadata_db_prefs_backup.json" contains library-specific information -- basically, anything that is stored in the metadata.db

This includes custom column configuration, which columns are shown/hidden/ordered, saved searches/virtual libraries, etc.

Some plugins store extra info in the database, for example, the OverDrive Link plugin stores the "Discovered Books" in the database.
