SMM (Satisfactory Mod Manager) is the application that you download and interact with. It downloads files (mods) to where they should go, so that you don't need to deal with them, nor with the mods' dependencies.
SML (Satisfactory Mod Loader) is the mod loader (it used to load mods, now the engine does it thanks to the way mods are packaged) which provides APIs that mods use to cleanly interact with the game. It is implemented as a mod, and basically all other mods depend on to work. The Mod Manager will download it for you if you need it, you don't need to install it directly yourself.
You don't need to launch the game from SMM - if you launch from Steam or Epic, your mods will still be loaded. More info here:
