Outlook Add In (PC/MAC/DESKTOP/ONLINE)

Question

I'm planning to build my first Outlook Add In. I'm familiar with Outlook VBA, but not with the new technology (javascript).

I want to create one Add In for PC/MAC/DESKTOP/ONLINE to be able to download in the store. Can this be done in one Add In?

Is this the right article to start?

That is a good place to start. The starting page that has the overview of the feature is here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/tutorials/… — Outlook Add-ins Team - MSFT

Yes, you are on the right avenue. But I'd suggest learning basics of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS and etc. basics of web programming first. Web add-ins are not so easy as VBA macros. Here is where you can learn about web add-ins - Office Add-ins platform overview.
