When does rpm database get populated? specifically, we can check md5sums of installed files using rpm -V . rpm verifies this against the database. So the question is md5sums in the database will be created during build time or install time?

Build time. If you edit the files in your %post, they show as not matching.

You can also write your own %verify script that is run on rpm -V. For example, you might want to have it re-apply SELinux context to your files.
