Yes that sounds right for what you're describing

2/3 can be sort of combined when setting up a card PM on a platform customer eg using setup intents, its created & attached to that customer all together

You might also want to consider attaching the cloned PM to a customer on the connected account if you want to use it repeatedly

Otherwise the cloned PM is one-time-use only, and you'd need to re-clone for each payment. This is fine, but you can also attach to a connected account customer for re-use. Up to you.

do I need to create a customer for the connected accounts to be able to reuse cloned payment method?

[unreal crescent]

Yes

They need to be attached to a customer on the connected account before using for a payment

Otherwise the payment will "consume" the PM and you won't be able to attach it after

Okay make sense, to combine steps 2 and 3, I can use Create a SetupIntent. This way I don't need to create a card and attached the card to the customer. is this correct?

[unreal crescent]

Correct, the setup intent confirmation with a customer ID will do that part (if that integration pattern suits your needs)
