yes you would need the Location object created on the connected account. You can use the API to create it : https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/features/connect#direct-locations

Ah okay, Ideally we'd like to avoid creating a futher flow in our product to collect and create new locations on demand. Is there anyway to create these locations within the existing stripe dashboard functionality?

well this is a Custom account, it doesn't 'actually' have a Stripe dashboard. And when using Custom there is extensive API integration required for most things.

#

we let you do a "view dashboard as" functionality to view details of what's happening on the account, but the owner of the account has no access to that, and it's generally not intended for 'write' operations like creating things.

Note that we don't really recommend using Custom accounts with Direct Charges as you're doing here. For example any refunds/disputes have to be handled by the connected account, which means you need to handle them by calling the API directly on their behalf and building any internal dashboard for your support agents/the account holder.
