User-data is specifically the base64 encoded chunk that is uploaded by the instance launch process. It is downloaded by cloud-init, and dealt with separately to how cloud-init deals with root keys or hostnames or any of the other pieces of information available in metadata. I can see how it's easy to become confused by the poor naming and the overloading (eg, openstack has 3 completely separate things all called 'metadata').
