Hi guys... I'm going to install Lion tonight (Not the Mac App Store version, but the USB version that come out a while ago) and it is version 10.7.0. Can I go ahead and download the 10.7.3 update from Apple.com? Or will I have to download 10.7.1, 10.7.2, and then 10.7.3 from software update? Thanks!
 
After you install Lion, just run Software Update and it will do the rest.
 
Software update will of course do the right thing.

If you want to pre-download it, make sure it is the 10.7.3 Combo update. And of course run software update after you install 10.7.3.

Fortunately Apple offers combo updates. If you're several versions behind, in your case 10.7.0 you can download (and Software Update will do this for you) the combo updater. They're usually fairly large, but actually better updates. You'll probably get a 10.7.3. combo updater and it'll work great.
 
Ahh... OK. I thought the combo updates came after the next version of OS X come out. I found this on Apple.com Thanks!
