Correct, but it was also missing some important context: his intention was not really to "copy the iso file", but to "boot from USB stick using the openSUSE ISO image". Ie, /install/ the ISO into the stick. :-)
OK, conceded, that is true. :-)
In this usage, what needs to be done is to copy the ISO file to the device that represents the stick, overwriting any format it has.
You and I know that but it's a common mistake. Windows-only types don't know what "burn an ISO to CD" means because until fairly recently Microsoft didn't make ISO images available, and Windows couldn't do it unaided, so they never learned how. As of Windows 8.0, MS has made ISOs available. For Win10, they're easy to get, and it works unregistered and unactivated too. Very useful for tasks like BIOS updates. I think around then it also gained the ability to write them to optical drives without 3rd party tools. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
