I guess I won't understand what you mean until I do it.

I see that the dl for my RPi3B is Kodi 18.2 (Linux Kernel 4.19.x)
LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.0.2.img.gz

If I use such as the libreelec sd/usb creator tool* for any
win/linux/mac it will use that .gz and write it to the SD that I'll put
into a USB/SD gizmo and then I'll be able to just remove/replace the
Raspbian sd w/ the libreelec sd and boot the RPi.

Is there something I'm missing here?

installation media for any LibreELEC supported platform please download
the “LibreELEC USB-SD Creator” app and run it with administrator rights.
