You are correct, Calibre Companion "does NOT" now nor has it ever downloaded books from Calibre via a USB cable. By design it is a wireless solution to connect your Android tablet or phone to calibre as a device.

The first: Calibre Companion supports connecting to calibre over WiFi and be detected by calibre as a device. No other app, reader or browser, offers this level of integration with calibre.
