I think it is this here: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/install/manual-deployment/#long-form . As far as I can tell, this is only for educational purposes and not intended for real deployment. It is not a manual deployment for lvm OSDs though, so yeah, this should be updated. I think the intention of this section is exactly what you write, it is supposed to explain what the high-level tool is doing under the hood. Unfortunately, it seems to be ceph-disk and not ceph-volume. For manual deployment, I myself use and would recommend the ceph-volume bluestore method just one section above https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/install/manual-deployment/#bluestore with the additional simplification of using the "lvm batch" sub-command.

Hi, your whole OSD deployment is wrong. CEPH does not use any filesystem anymore for at least two major releases, and the existing filestore backend is deprecated. Dunno where you got those steps from... Just use ceph-volume, and preferable the lvm based deployment. If you really want to understand how CEPH works, use a default deployment method and then investigate what this methods actually does (and why it does exactly that...).
