This works in the calibre library view but he is referring to the device view. I am not sure if the multiple-book editor works in the device view.
Why someone would want to add all the work of manually editing their collection in the device view is beyond me. Personally I do exactly what you said and edit my books in calibre's library view using all of the mass editing tools at my disposal then I send them to my device and let calibre create a collection for each tag and series associated with the book.
The book might be tagged in more then one collection, but there is only one copy of the book on the device. Currently I have 255 books on my device in 66 collections. Letting calibre create the collections based on tags and series means that if the device hiccups and loses the collections it will take calibre a few minutes to fix the problem.
