While instead in the Library panel I cannot filter for those books, since the Collections column doesn exist.
There is some way to filter - in the Library panel - for books that on the device are on a given collection?
According to @chaley, the expert on such matters:

There isn't an easy way to do this.

The only way I can think of is to write a plugin that copied the device collections field to a cust col in the library. The plugin would traverse the device's database (the one in the device gui view) grabbing the appid (db id) and the collections for books with in-library ==true. It would next find the books in the library with the appids and insert the info into a cust col.
Not the answer you're looking for, but that's the authoritative answer.
