Yes, that's right.  The LiteON is a DVD-RW (I have one too).  The other
device appears to be a simple DVD reader:

	hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver.
	hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)

Now, as far as burning the .iso images you downloaded, the command you
want to use is:

	cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 /path/to/iso/file

Repeat that for each .iso you downloaded.  When you're done, you should
be able to take the CD you burned for the first .iso file and boot right
off it.
