Of course they do. They store ctime, mtime and atime (creation time, last modification time, last access time). The creation time is the time when the file was created on your system, unless you specified to use the creation time from the original computer you imported the file from. But for purposes of finding out which is "the original" Calibre copy - the one you imported - your systems ctime is perfectly good for that. So is mtime in most cases, as that is generally the most useful timestamp for typical day to day stuff, thus what you get by default from the "ls -l" command.
