probably not as you've inserted spaces between the dots.

and allow the line to break before or after, or is that determined by the reading device?

It's the reading device/app that determines where line wrapping occurs. If you want the reader to be able to break before and/or a true elipsis you need in insert a standard space before and/or after the elipsis.
A true elipsis is a single special character. The three periods style is an antique typewriter kluge. Many apps, including a properly configured MS Word, will replace these with a proper elipsis even if you adjust the letter spacing (aka kerning) between the characters. When you space the periods out with space characters I wouldn't expect any app to do the auto replacement. If you use non-breaking spaces ( in HTML) to space the periods it will flow as if it is a single character, but you need to use standard "breaking" spaces before and/or after if you want the reader to be able to wrap the line at those positions.

Also, does Calibre recognize non-breaking spaces?

Yes, at least in most input formats.
