There's a misunderstanding here. Jellyfin does not provide/create automatic collections.
You need to be the one to select shows/movies in your libraries and put them into collections (if you want them).
The setting that you're looking at is for when you're browsing a movie library. By default, the movie library will show each movie separately regardless of collections. If you enable the setting you're looking at, the movie library page will instead display collections mixed in with the other singular movies. Basically, show collections or not in the movie libraries that you have.
To manually add to a collection, you just right-click on any movie or show, then select the "add to collection" button.
You have to search online for existing collection metadata sources. Check out: https://www.themoviedb.org/
If you search themoviedb, there's a tab to the side that displays existing collections that match your search.
