I think you need to first call ‘az bicep install’ first.

you actually don't have to (though you can). If you attempt to create a deployment with a .bicep file and bicep is not installed, we will install it automatically

Ok, right. I just tested and it does not work with az bicep version but it does with build. Apologies for mixup.

Correct:
using az bicep build will download the CLI if needed, and will then transpile it if needed. (See screenshot) below. So no need for the curl and extension hassle.
Although you still need to transpile to JSON to actually deploy this.
