So it takes whatever metric it came up with and sets the metric as kernel

That's right.
So if there is a shorter prefix that has a lower metric, this will be
chosen over a longer prefix with higher metric?
No, the kernel still uses the most specific route -- it's only in case of
equal prefixes that the kernel priority is used. It's analoguous to
Cisco's administative distance.
So this is to choose between identical routes. Why is this needed? Where
do the duplicates come from?
