Which is correct.  It's a device.  You'd have to mount the device if it
had a filesystem on it to be able to 'cd' into it.  But since you're
using dd(1) to write the data to the device that won't work -- there is
no filesystem on the device in question.

You'd simply restore the data by doing the reverse of what you do to
write the data to the device.
