It is a column, in the sense that's its a field in the books table, like the title, publisher, modified_date etc.

It is created and managed by calibre for its internal use - my understanding is that it plays a role in getting 'books' and associated metadata onto some e-reading devices. If you want to see it in the book list you will have to use a composite column, viz:

The 'uuid' should not to be confused with 'id' which is the book table primary key (generically referred to as row-id), or with the 'identifiers' data -- which is a data structure containing multiple elements such as ISBN, Amazon, Google, Kobo etc product codes.
