FI think @stebenz can answer this best
S@Morka Unfortunately I have to say that this understanding is not 100 % correct, to hold it short:
Yes, in SAML the IDP provides you with metadata.
No, in SAML the SP also provides you with metadata.
To connect an IDP and a SP you have to exchange this metadata with the respective opposite system to establish "trust" and provide the systems with the information regarding the communication, attributes and minimum required security details.
I hope this is of help to you, maybe our guides to connect different system with SAML and ZITADEL can shine a little bit more light on you situation, for example with Auth0 https://docs.zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/auth0-saml#

This guide shows how to enable login with ZITADEL on Auth0.
SNo worries, happy to help, if you have any further questions, just shot me a message.
