Calories in vs. calories out is definitely not the most important factor as different foods provide different "types" of calories. 2000 calories of refined sugar and omega-6 fatty acids =/= 2000 calories of a well-balanced diet. The physiological fates of the foods we eat are the most important factors.
realistically most people won't eat just 2000 calories of refined sugar as their only meal though.
some will eat "clean" and have more balanced diet and some will eat more junk fast food. but in general, at the end of the day calories in vs calories out should be the most important factor in losing weight because most people will eat a combination of protein, carb, and fat.

Does carb loading help people like me who want to build mass?

That was a hyperbolic example, obviously. Using calories to count nutritional value is an antiquated system which needs to be pushed to the wayside. Furthermore, using # of calories burned is also a silly system since it is almost impossible to calculate the number of calories burned from lifting weights as well as those burned during the recovery process. Can calories in vs calories out be a decent method to use for general tracking? Sure, but is it the most important factor? Absolutely not.
Its like those people who get so excited when their fitbit vibrates because they walked 10000 steps. Who gives a frick? 10000 steps, especially if it something you do routinely, will burn less and less calories as your muscles get more efficient at performing the exact same task.
