If for example your next track had weak bass compared to the previous track, and you were to boost the bass eq to compensate for that, then you want the meter to match that of the other track WITH the bass boosted.
But so far as DJs always adjusting the gain after the track is mixed in.. I guess it depends on how you mix.. because I always adjust it beforehand and rarely have to touch it after.
