Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by this, no, this isn't correct 
- you can do:

dd if=/path/to/iso/dvd.iso of=/dev/sdg

And create a bootable USB flash drive if the iso is prepped with 
isohybrid.

And when done, you can reformat the device very easily:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdg
fdisk /dev/sdg

Piece of cake.
