Questions

Why convert AAC to FLAC?

AAC is the modern lossy format, better than MP3 at the same size. FLAC is lossless but compressed, so it keeps the quality without the bulk. Converting is how you move a file from the first situation to the second.

What will the FLAC file be?

FLAC, which decodes to exactly the same samples as the source at roughly half the size of WAV.

Does converting AAC to FLAC lose quality?

No. FLAC is lossless, so this step loses nothing - though it cannot bring back what the AAC file already discarded.

Does converting lose quality?

Going to a lossless format never does. Going to a lossy one always does, though usually not audibly at the settings used here.
