Yes, on item in multiple collections.
You need to at least register the device to create collections, but after than you can put side loaded content in them.
You'll get a variety of opinions here as to whether collections 'work'. My recommendation is to use them sparingly, or at least don't put a lot of time into it, especially with side loaded content. Short of jail break, you will not be able to manage that with calibre, or back any of it up.
You do get some more flexibility if you Send to Kindle and let amazon store it for you, at least you won't lose your collection work and can manage it with web browser.
If collections or playing nice with calibre are something you're interested in, get a different eReader. For example Pocketbook will pay attention to calibre tags and will let you browse using them, and will also let you browse file folders if you like to organize that way.
