DV Lottery selectee: Do I need to complete the DS-260 if I am applying for AOS and not applying through my country's embassy?

Diversity Visa Lottery selectee: Do I need to complete the DS-260 online form if I am applying for Adjustment of Status (AOS) and not applying through my country's consulate/embassy?

(This post is a copy of this post from /r/USCIS: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/nekqhd/dv_lottery_selectee_do_i_need_to_complete_the/)

This Department of State (DOS) Diversity Visa page states the following:

"Selected entrants are encouraged to complete the online DS-260 application immediately to schedule an interview appointment at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate."

So it seems it must only be completed if one is applying through an Embassy or Consulate.

This DOS AOS page for the Diversity Visa program page does not mention completing the DS-260 form.

The USCIS page for the AOS through the DV Lottery does not mention completing the DS-260 either.

On the other hand, when you go to the Consular Electronic Application Center page to complete the DS-260 form and search for your case, eventually, you are asked whether you want to apply for an immigrant visa through Adjustment of Status or an Embassy/Consulate abroad.

I have already mailed my I-485 application to the appropriate mailing address. I was hesitant to complete the DS-260 form since I already mailed my I-485 application.

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
