yes, both in the DR1000 section and in the DR800 section

If by custom you mean the latest (beta and also final) firmware from IREX, both the custom and the original firmwares are able to access files in this directory, but in fact for both firmwares, the final directory structure is and always has been somewhat ugly. Concretely for the latest beta firmware and the standard plugin you end up with
DR1000
/Books (not accessible by calibre)
/ebooks/ (contains all books loaded by calibre, including a directory /news with the news from calibre ...)
/News (not accessible by calibre)
DR800
/Books (contains all books loaded by calibre, including a directory /news with the news from calibre ...)
/News (not accessible by calibre)

They are of course not absolutely necessary, because after using calibre to put books and news, one can of course move the files on the devices by hand in the appropriate directories to use the full features of the reader. But this is not optimal of course and somehow defeats the purpose.
I do not think that this will be a behavioral change that will negatively affect any users with the original or latest firmware. In any case, the old behavior of the plugin can always be reproduced just by including /ebooks respectively /Books in the save template.
