Exactly. The raw data is just pixels, and metadata sets what the
expected pixel size might be. Of course, this metadata can be
meaningless as the user can and often does rescale the image to meet
the typesetting needs.

The image manipulation tools use this metadata to resample resolution.
I found this very useful as I used *hundreds* of scanned X-ray images
that had real sizes, high resolution and 16 or even 24 bit depth. Of
course, I had to reduce all of this in order to include them in a
digestible and printable pdf.
