Do I need to flash both OpenCore and MacOS installer to USB?

Hey there,

I am not that familiar with OpenCore and checked through the documentation and wanted to make sure if I need to flash both OpenCore and MacOS installer to USB or are they seperate packages for different use cases?

I have a MacBook Pro 2011 laying around but it currently does not have an OS installed as it tries to install Lion but fails, I am trying to install a newer OS via OpenCore through a different MacBook but as I understand I need two options from the OpenCore GUI which one is the MacOS installer and the other OpenCore installation but unsure how to do the OpenCore installation on my other MacBook that no bootable drive currently.

Do I just flash both to USB and install OpenCore and then MacOS in order?
