Ah, I had no idea, thanks for this heads up. I've never actually used the Play app.
Your question made me login to double check file types, and I'm pleased that m4b files have been added to some of my books where zipped mp3 was the only download option previously.
My mp3s from Libro seem to be one mp3 file equals one chapter, so there isn't a table of contents at the file level, but I don't think audiobooks work that way like an ebook.
I think as long as the file names are correctly named in the metadata for sequential play, the app/device playing them should automatically play them in order.
You can manually edit/rename the metadata and file names to your liking with something like mp3tag. I add leading zeroes to files that don't have them, so 01 instead of just 1.
This book shows as free for me, if you want to test -
