@westiti - simple answer is 'Yes'.

Calibre can extract the metadata, including author and title, when a book is added to the library and populate its metadata database.

It will copy the book file (known as a 'format') into a library which is a set of folders based upon Author Names and Titles - but you don't need to worry about any of that, because all access to the metadata and the book format files should be done via the calibre program - not the computers file system.
