A demand task is for assigning arbitrary pieces of work to other people so that a demand can progress. This could be anything from doing documentation, to implementing certain controls, finding out extra info etc.
In my experience, a decision is usually used for record keeping of a high level decision that has been made as part of scoping or discussions about how to proceed with a demand. Generally, a decision record is logged after the decision has already been made as part of some discussion/steerco/meeting etc with applicable stakeholders, but this is not necessary.
Based on your use case, you could easily use either demand tasks or decisions to facilitate your process. Using decisions will require a bit more work as you will need to modify the form to add assignment group and work notes, as they do not provide a place to enter this info by default, but dmn_decision does extend task so the fields are there to use already.
Also neither decisions nor demand tasks have a proper approval workflow attached to them, you will need to create those yourself, along with the notifications.
Secondly, yes the way you described is easiest for making templates. When you create the template, make sure to set the User/Group fields in the top right so that the Demand Manager/s can see the template, by default they are only visible to you.
