I can copy iso or image files to a system disk with cp /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb or cp file.image /dev/sdb.
In this case, is the size of the result stored as metadata on /dev/sdb?

The command examples you give don't do what you think they do, and can actually damage your system. Don't use them.

The size of a filesystem is stored in the filesystem. (For most filesystems. I guess because it determines the size of structures like FATs or free space bitmaps).
I don't believe there's a generic tool, it's just not that common to need it. But isosize will report the size of an ISO9660 filesystem. I have a feeling this tool is provided because CDROM's or maybe just CD-R's have a habit of returning I/O errors at/beyond the end.
