Most brake calipers(and many other components) that you buy off the shelf at any parts store have been rebuilt/remanufactured. The "core" charge applied to calipers, alternators, starters, steering racks, cv axles etc, is to make sure you return your part that you replaced so the manufacturer can rebuid it. It saves everyone time and $$$.
So as long as your pistons and inner caliper body(fluid filled area) aren't rusty, pitted, scored etc., YES they should be good as new after a rebuild.
I don't know enough about power-coating to give solid input. Personally, I would make sure to find if powdercoating calipers will affect heat dissipation or not. I know people do it, but I wonder about that. Maybe I just over analyze, but who knows.
