There's not a "usb" kind of file, I think they named it "usb" just to differentiate it from their ISO image. UNIX plays fast and loose with file extensions since they have zero meaning to it.
I think it's a disk image, which would need to be dumped raw onto the USB device. This is similar to how a CDROM containing "disk image.iso" isn't the same thing as the cdrom that burning "disk image.iso" to disk would create.
Fair warning, this would wipe out your USB drive's existing contents and partition information!
How to do so depends on your system.
