So I edit xyz.docx from inside Calibre, after which Word will allow me to save the corrected file to the default location (probably someplace in a Temp folder under Windows), after which I exit Word, back into Calibre, convert the new xyz.docx, and the new xyz.epub will overwrite the old one. Is this right, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

You're over thinking it, lets try some pictures. N.B. I use keyboard shortcuts to do most things.
First we add the DOCX to the library - note that the title and author are extracted from the DOCX properties (Info).
Now you can Convert it by pressing 'C,
I use the View specific format option, its standard shortcut is Alt+V, as you can see we have two formats: DOCX and EPUB
To open the DOCX in Word, with the DOCX selected, I press Enter
I make my changes in Word and then
Save and Close - for me that's Ctrl+S, Ctrl+W - NB I have customised Word a lot and I have add ons, so I'm not sure if they are the standard shortcuts.
Then I switch back to calibre and press 'C' again.
