The cord you have is basically this.
To answer your first question - yes, it is basically an adapter cord so you don't need a dogbone. It is a 50amp female to 30amp male cord.

For times with hookups, you should be fine unless you are trying to run multiple high power use appliances like heaters, cooking appliances, hair dryers, etc.
