Upon completing it's work media writer presents a block that says

that it does what is needed to finish the job. Quite possibly it is
using "dd" as you describe.
It installs your ISO file onto a disc as a bootable disc. It doesn't
install an OS onto a computer to run. You then use that bootable disc
to either run it as a live OS, or install onto a hard drive.
Going from what I've read, Media Writer can use dd as the underlying
tool, or it can use something else. It's just a guiding hand for
someone to put an ISO onto something to boot from.
