You can control what metadata in calibre gets turned into collections. As far as 0.7.1 is concerned, it won't turn anything into collections since it doesn't know about collections on the Kindle.

Once calibre gets support for collections on the Kindle, you can go to preferences->plugins->device interface plugins and customize the kindle plugin, telling it what metadata to turn into collections. You can ask it to create collections from tags/authors/series etc.

Eventually you will be able to ask it to create collections from custom columns as well.
