Yes.

But I'm realizing that if I intend to make use of a metadata plugboard like that on the remote machine, I'd have to first bring over an EPUB file with full metadata embedded, right? (Or find some other way to have the complete metadata in that remote Calibre dB?)

I only use calibre one one local machine. You will need to ask others for the best approaches to sharing data across multiple systems.

Is the #page and #gfog data still safe and maintained? Is there an easy way to have Calibre add-back missing columns in a new instance, based on custom file metadata?

As far as I know the extra metadata will be ignored, but that is not anything I have experience with.
