I'm quite sure that you'll find instructions on installing CentOS from a
USB disk on CentOS Wiki - always best to start with the source.

CentOS mail list is quite useful and helpful but not tolerant of
chatter.

Yes, the installation process from a USB flash disk will indeed format
the disk in vfat but that should be of little interest/consequence since
you can wipe it after you are done and format it with any filesystem
that you want.
