Stick with 1909 for another 3 or 4 months at least
Can I use Dual Layer DVD for Win10_2004_English_x64.iso?

No. that information is inside the install.wim or install.esd, whichever you ISO uses.
You can use DISM to query it and find out ALL of the versions any ISO, DVD or install USB contains.

Have you tried going into Windows Update's advanced options in Pro and looking for the Defer Quality Update and Defer Feature Update options?

WOW, that was great. It does show Enterprise. It also has a whole bunch of versions like Pro. I did verify that index 3 is, in fact Enterprise, but does this mean that I actually have all of these on the DVD and the KEY that is entered will determine what is installed or does it ask which version you want installed? Great info as always. I also asked about this 2004 version as 1909 is no longer available and I just wanted a source in case I am asked for a source disk even though I AM still at 1909.

For the question, I routinely use the MCT to get the .iso file and create the Bootable USB. I get the third choice of both x86 and x64 as I never know in advance which I'll need. I use the DVD+R/DL discs and a 16GB USB drive. The DL discs can be hard to find locally and usually only the +R, haven't seen the -R. I seldom use any RW discs as they can be problematic in use on 'foreign' computers, seldom bootable even if Closed.

Yes, it means that all those editions are there. You may wonder how a single DVD or USB can hold about half a dozen editions, each of which DISM will tell you is about 13GB. the answer is a) that the source files are compressed, and b) there's only one copy of each system file most of which are common to all editions, but half a dozen configuration manifests that list how to configure them to be each of those editions.
There are three ways to choose which edition gets installed. Setup runs through them in this order....
If the PC was built for Windows 8/8.1/10 and supplied with Windows pre-installed by the OEM there will be a key embedded in the bios. Setup will read this and install the edition it is for.
If Setup doesn't find a key in the bios it will ask you for one and install the appropriate edition. A key doesn't just entitle you to activate Windows, it also says which edition it is for.
You can skip entering a key by clicking 'I don't have one'. Only then will Setup specifically ask you which edition to install.
