No it isn't just indexing the calendar.

Yes all except the Totem application use libtracker-miner APIs and feed 
data to the database.

Totem makes use of this data.
GTK+ file chooser makes use of this data.
Nautilus makes use of this data.

If you include our in house applications, the tracker-search-bar and 
tracker-search-tool also use the data.
