Of course; you get lots of cool features.  I thought you were asking how
WinFS actually obtains the metadata.

As far as accessing and using the metadata; you get a number of ways.
It's all stored and indexed in the same place, and the list of
properties, etc. is all available.  You can execute queries over the
data using built-in search UI, using a query language from the APIs, or
data binding to the storage in Windows UI.  You can grab items and
traverse properties programmatically, etc.  So, yes, you can do a lot
with it once it is exposed through WinFS rather than stuck in each file.
