Yes, the Mac has metadata and keeps data about file creator and which

Yes. OS X uses file extensions and not metadata, same as Windows.
The reason Finale's backup files open in Finale when you double-click
them is that on Mac, Finale's autosave appends ".mus" and not ".bak".
If it appended ".bak", you would have exactly the same problem as
Windows (unless you set Finale to be the default application to open
all ".bak" files.
