I think the .img file is to simplify the formatting. So if your sd
card shows up as /dev/sdb than you could do

dd if=/path/to/sd.img of=/dev/sdb

But make sure that you are pointing it towards your sd card and not
some other drive.

If you manually setup your sd card than you don't need the sd card image.
