I am not sure what process you are describing.
CC does not see metadata or books downloaded over USB. CC only sees metadata and books downloaded over one of its connections (wireless device, content server, or cloud). If you download over USB then subsequently connect as a wireless device then CC will try to match the books to calibre's library. This may (or may not) work for EPUB and usually doesn't work for the other formats.
If you download a book with CC then later replace the book file with something new downloaded via USB then CC will "see" the old metadata but the book reader app will see the new book file.

When I open CC, every book is there. In the same order, with the same tags and metadata, as on Calibre. But like I said, I had to fiddle around for awhile, to find out where CC was looking for books. Not intuitive, IMHO.

Again, I am not sure what you are doing and what isn't intuitive.
If you are referring to where CC stores book files then the answer is "where you told it to in CC's settings, with the default being the folder "Calibre_Companion" in main memory unless you are using an Amazon device in which case the default is "Books".
If you are referring to something else then could you tell me what it is?
