With the NodeMCU firmware you flash the firmware (includes SDK) and copy the Lua files.

With Arduino you build SDK, Arduino layer and your own code into a single binary that is flashed. The Arduino IDE takes care of everything. No need to separately flash an Arduino "firmware" or so.

Thanx for that, it is clear now.
