IME it does not. I think that it's just the tool that the GUI application calls to perform the translation step, but the GUI is responsible for all of the "bookkeeping" related to the db.

I personally like it that way as I don't use any of the features of Calibre beyond that one tool -- in fact, I wish I could download the backend CLI tools separate from the GUI.
