Yes it's with the official documentation:-

Where the first sentence reads: "To prepare the USB stick, you will
need a system where GNU/Linux is already running and where USB is
supported.". So, to install Debian from an USB-stick you need a system
where Debian (for example) is installed. Smells recursion here :-)
IMHO there should be some hints what to do if the user currently is
running something else than GNU/Linux, like Windows or OS X.
In Mac OS-X, it should be pretty straight-forward. E.g. the "dd"
command exists in standard OS-X. There may be some tricks required to
write directly to a USB stick device, but I'm guessing it's not
impossible.
But the real answer to your point is this: If you're thinking of
running Linux, you probably have a friend who has Linux running.
Friends are good things to have.
