Maybe I load the OS onto a USB stick, insert the emmc card and then install the OS like that?
There is no sata ports with the rock64, you can use usb drives but you need to boot from sdcard or emmc as the SoC doesn't support USB booting.
emmc is similar to sdcard technology wise, they're used in phones for internal storage etc. There is a number of ways to write to emmc, the easiest of which is to get the usb to emmc adapter pine64 sells.
