Unless the iPad does something different from the other devices, the metadata for a book is updated when it is copied. Calibre makes a temp copy of the book in the library, updates the metadata, and then hands that copy to the device driver.

It is possible that if the book is burdened with DRM, then no update will take place.

Of course, if a title or author is changed after the book is transferred, or if the book wasn't transferred by Calibre, then matching could easily fail.
