Yes. After the initial download there should be three files in it. (You'll need to download the monolingual dictionary at least once.)

You're correct. It should be 504 (ASIN) B005F12G6U.

Don't rename anything in Mobi Meta Editor. Just add/change the two metadata entries then click Save. Mobi Meta Editor will save the new file as xxxxx_new.mobi. (xxx is the original file name).
Rename xxxxx_new.mobi to B005F12G6U_EBOK.azw and delete/move the original xxxxx.mobi. Open B005F12G6U_EBOK.azw with Mobi Meta Editor and double-check the ASIN entries. If they're OK, the dictionary should work, if the original mobi file works as a dictionary on eInk Kindles.

BTW, you can also test your custom dictionary with the old Mobipocket Reader app, which is compatible with Windows 10. (You'll need to change the file extension to .mobi or .prc.)
If your custom dictionary works with Mobipocket Reader 6.2, it should work with the Kindle for PC app.
