Yes. The CC Cloud Connection includes the ability to use calibre libraries stored on the device either in main memory or on an SD card. See CC Settings / Cloud Connection / Cloud Provider / Library on device or SD card.

Ahhh, that is in the Cloud Connection part of the FAQ, but it isn't clear from the text that it works only as a CC library source. I have changed the text to (I hope) make things clearer.

FAQ collections reference:
Grouping, sorting, and searching
ID #1036
Why does the sort menu disappear when I select User Collections (Sony-style collections)?
Collections are sorted by calibre, and Calibre Companion must respect that order. Although it would be possible to add yet another sort type to the list, we thought that the need would be too rare to compensate for the extra confusion about what it means.

I think I will remove that FAQ entry. Sony-style "collections" have been obsolete in CC for years. People shouldn't use them unless they have a very good reason.

Don't know if the "collections" really mean collections the same way as done by Aldiko & Mantano. Haven't looked into it yet.

With the exception of the now-deleted FAQ that you referred to, CC doesn't use the word "collections". The equivalent is the information in CC's grouping drawer, which is 100% controlled by calibre's metadata. If you put a tag on a book, that tag appears in the grouping drawer and can be tapped to select books with that tag. Same with authors, series, publishers, calibre custom columns, etc. The only thing you need to do is tell CC that you want to see some calibre column in CC's grouping drawer. The default (title, authors, series, tags, publishers, rating, read) may be enough.
