Can I set up the unit in full on OR then export that to set up an Airbnb/VRBO listing - or do I need to set up Airbnb/VRBO listings fully first and import them into OR? Just trying to avoid the redundancy of all the set up - photos/listing info etc multiple times.

Yes, you can fully set up a new property in OwnerRez, and then push the listing information to Vrbo and Airbnb using API connections.

What if I have all of the info in OR but no photos yet? Can I still do the transfer from OR to VRBO/Airbnb?

No, you have to have at least a couple of photos in order to create a valid channel listing.
