Yes, you need to have the stuff that's in both those directories on the USB drive but for that case you can combine them together, copying the moi.ini file and moi_v3_license.key file from AppData over into the same folder as MoI.exe .
When MoI starts up it looks in the same folder as the .exe for those files and will use them if they are found there.
The regular install puts them into the AppData folder because by default Windows (since Vista) restricts programs from modifying files in the \Program Files folder, unless the program is run at a higher privelege level. It would not be good for the moi.ini file to be read only by default because then any changes to your settings wouldn't be saved.
