An Inverter produces AC from DC and a Converter produces DC from AC. A generator produces AC and is your primary power source. Your battery powers your inverter. An Inverter style generator is just a different way to make AC using an engine for power. Sounds confusing but really isn't. Cheap generators no matter who's name is on it are Made in China. Honda is the std all others are judged by.
