Is this the default configuration for file storage?
Some Android eBook applications appear to be expecting separate metadata.opf files per book and a folder structure mirroring the Calibre folder structure on the PC.
Was there a change to the default exported books file structure enforced by changes to an updated version of Calibre at some point?

Yes that is the default.

You can control the file name and folder structure of files sent to the device by setting up a template in Preferences → Import/export → Sending books to devices. Also see The calibre template language.

Using:
Code:
{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>2} {title}
Will put you ebooks in a folder name for the author then in a subfolder name for the series if any and name the epub file with the series number then book title.
