Correct. This is the preparation stage, where you need internet to
prepare a USB stick. We cannot perform magic transfer of files yet :-)

Those are probably the package names you want. I would say
 gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly

If it is not finding them, after you've successfully completed step 1,
maybe you need to also pass an --enablerepo=rpmfusion* option to
yumdownloader.

The package names are the names of the packages you want as discussed
in step 2 above.

I really feel we are going in circles here. Perhaps a read of the
documentation for yumdownloader will help you picture what it does, so
you can figure things out a bit more independently?
