When do any header interactions (read/write) occur?

Hi

Do I understand correctly that the header is only needed when booting the OS + executing any cryptsetup commands?
If I have a detached header on a USB flashdrive, can I remove this flashdrive from the computer during routine work on the computer?

Best Regards!
