Lets break this down to parts:

a) When creating the e-book, identifier can be set inside it. If that's the case, when you add the book to your library, the Identifiers field will be it filled automatically (Ex.: amazon_br:8543101875), the same way ISBN will be filled if present on e-book file.
b) The Metadata Source Plugin will not extract the Identifier from e-book file. That happens when you add it to your library, if it was correctly set in the file.
c ) So, without internet connection, nothing will happen. When connected, the plugin will search the website based on either its identifier, ISBN or Title/Author, in that order, if they are available.
