if you downloaded and used that ps1 file, that indicate that you were
following the 'lode' ways of setting up a build environment (a good
thing.. but I'm partial :-) ).
step 2 of this process _is_ to download the lode.git repo.. so you
should really already have it.

And yes core.git is all you need to build the product ( although
depending on the build option you may get dictionaries.git, help.git
and/or translation.git as git submodule).
lode.git is a separate 'tools' developed originally to help deploying
ci slavebot.
lode help among other thing 'manage' core.git using a local bare
mirror clone --reference to deply build environment cheaply.
it could not live in core.git again due to a chicken and egg problem.

and as you can see here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/admin/projects/

we do have quite a few auxiliary git repo under management :-)

most of it is not, for good reason.. git is not the best way to manage
a bunch of fat tar.gz source release of all the external dependencies
we use.
I've put that particular script _there_ as a convenience (convenient
to me as that web server already existed and server plain file), but
really the cygwin_install scrip is completely unrelated to the rest of
the content there.

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=lode.git;a=blob;f=bin/install_cygwin.ps1;h=596befa42226fe41e109d97ec1b335eed4f4c508;hb=refs/heads/master

it is stored on a web server because people need to get it without
having git or cygwin installed.. since it is to install cygwin...
but the 'source' is in the lode.git repo
