RE: AFAIK copying an analog tape to digital is a transfer, not remastering.

Yes that's right. However, the vinyl is mastered in the sense that cutting is a live process and the cutting engineer will be adjusting EQ according to the target audience. For example dance 12" singles are one obvious example where the 12" is cut very deliberately to suit the club environment and also adapting to the playback equipment (i.e cartridge replay characteristics).
In this case, HF is pulled back and bass is boosted given the high amplitudes cut on the disc as well as the playback volume. These days, I'm convinced that given the way vinyl is marketed, that it is mastered to give a "vinyl" sound.... whatever that means to the average punter!
