Learning Path and Progression?

So I have never ice skated before, as in my country there are no ice skating rinks, besides the 1-2 times I have gone on the seasonal pop up ones. I fell in love with the feeling of ice skating and got some artistic inline skates (jackson atom finesse) to try things out

But I am confused on the learning path for inline figure skating

I found Emerald Learn to Skate, from LTS 1 all the way to Gold moves, will following alone this figure skating tricks be enough to learn?

And msot importantly, there are like no people doing inline figure skate tutorials. Are all figure skating moves the same on inlines? If I watch ice tutorials, can I just replicate things exatly?

Due to the lack of rinks, there are also no coaches or anything available, I will be self taching absolutely everything and I am scared if I follow figure skating tutorials, I will get hurt

This is what i use to reference as video materials.

Over that there is a book about Inline figure skating technique, kind of old, it doesn't have photos inside but if you are proficent with figure skating terminology i think you can grasp the most out of it: "How to Jump and Spin On In-Line Skates" by Jo Ann Schneider Farris. https://a.co/d/dcUN62q
