Almost correct.  Sugar is the desktop component of the operating system
on XO-1.

Yes.  The installation process uses firmware program built into laptop
to load the image file into the storage.

Almost correct.  The image file is prepared by OLPC software using many
hundreds of components, among them is Sugar.

Difference is of format and inclusions.

Sugar is not an operating system, it is a collection of programs that
form a desktop user experience.  An underlying operating system is
required.

OLPC merges Fedora 9 and Sugar to create the .img file.
