'Possible to create token and metadata in one transaction?

Am I correct in saying that it's not possible to mint(create) an spl token and token metadata in the one transaction ?

Here is me cerating the mpl token metadata for a previously cerated spl token:

const createMetadataTx = new CreateMetadataV2(
      { feePayer: this.appTreasPair.publicKey },
      {
        metadata,
        metadataData: new DataV2({
          uri: `${host}/token_type/${token_type.token_type_id}/metadata`,
          name: token_type.name,
          symbol: token_type.symbol,
          sellerFeeBasisPoints: 100,
          creators: null,
          collection: null,
          uses: null,
          tokenStandard: TokenStandard.FungibleAsset,
        }),
        updateAuthority: this.appTreasPair.publicKey,
        mint: new web3.PublicKey(token_type.token_address),
        mintAuthority: this.appTreasPair.publicKey,
      }
    );

    const connection = solanaUtils.getConnection(token_type.cluster);

    const transaction = new web3.Transaction();

    console.log("creating metadata")
    transaction.add(createMetadataTx)

    const sig = await web3.sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, transaction, [this.appTreasPair], {
      skipPreflight: skipPreflight
    })

the mint field needs the address of the spl token which I can only get if I do the spl token creation in an initial separate transaction

It is possible. E.g. candy machine is creating a SPL token and then assign metadata to it. If you want a NFT: https://solanacookbook.com/references/nfts.html#mint-the-nft

If you rather want a standard SPL token the current method is create the SPL Token and then add it to the Solana Token list https://github.com/solana-labs/token-list (a better solution is WIP)
