Etcher create a non-accessible USB with MacOS image flash?

hi everyone I tried to do an offline installation of MacOS using Balena Etcher to flash MacOS image file to my usb stick. The problem is that after flashing and validating, my PC ask if I want to format the stick and the stick is also inaccessible. Its partitions also not visible in Windows Disk Management. I heard that Etcher flashed my stick into an Apple format so Windows cannot access its partitions hence it tries to fix by asking for formatting. Is it true? I tried Ventura and Sonoma images, even tried another stick but still the same so I can’t put EFI folder into it. Do you guys have any ideas? Many thanks 🙏
