 There are 2 options:

- Your camera is doing the conversion from and unknown profile to adobeRGB and 
is embedding this one into the image.
- Your camera isn't doing the conversion, but it's embedding such icc profile.

In my modest opinnion, if you are working with RAW images, then there is no 
conversion and the profiles is embedding only. On the other hand if there'd 
be a color transformation, if you apply a second one, the image should be 
showed with strange colors, i think. You can test with a transformed image, 
try to apply a second color transform using adobeRGB profile again an look at 
the result.
