Hello Antonia,
Your use case seems perfectly aligned for what LTI was designed to do.
Once you have registered the remote Moodle site (now called "tool" instead of "provider") in your local Moodle site (now called "platform" instead of "consumer"), you can access courses and contents from the remote Moodle site directly within your Moodle site.
The remote courses would appear as a link in one of your local courses. The students are pre-registered once you configure the tool in your course, so they get linked accounts in the tool before they have clicked the link, however, linked accounts are not completed until the student actually accesses the link in your platform.
