That sets a default for use by the device drivers. Most device drivers will have their own setting. If you change any part of the driver configuration, you will need to maintain the save template in the driver

You can also use the "Metadata Plugboards" preferences to have calibre alter the filename in the copy sent to your Kindle as well. Using a plugboard to append the issue date to the title might be desireable. I use a plugboard of this nature to prepend the series and series number to titles of books that should be read specific order. That way my reader displays the series info as part of the title.
No, the metadata plugboards modify the metadata in the books. It doesn't affect the file names.
