No. There are some apps like CC that can read a metadata.db in the cloud. As you said, CC can read a local metadata.db. CC stores all calibre metadata locally for books that it transfers.

You seem to be asking for an app that can extract all the calibre metadata from a set of books on the device. Some reader apps can extract some metadata, but I have never seen one that can extract all metadata. In fact, I haven't seen one that can handle custom columns at all.
