The only time you need any of the other steps is if you softbrick your phone. The instructions are fairly clear and straight forward from where I sit.

Yes, that is how the preinstalled version is set up to work, i.e., boot first from SD card.  This is stated to be temporary through a temporary boot file. Permanent opertion is to boot first from the eMMC. The system is constructred to run off the eMMC memory not an SD card.  SD card is for extra storage if needed.  Why put installed memory in if it is not to be used.
