No, I'm talking about an "installer" which can be used to create and to configure a VM image. The resulting VM image would have all needed packages installed and be fully configured.
Yes, this is e.g. something you can do with saltstack salt-virt or similar tools (especially the "fully configured" part). but you could also use virt-builder/-installer + cloud-init or various other tools.
Does "provisioning VM images" not involve their creation?
No, not necessary.
