I have encountered the same problem as you before, and I found many ways to solve it. In the end, I used UltraDMG. It can create a macOS bootable USB directly on Windows, and you don't need to do any complicated command line operations.

Just prepare your macOS DMG file, insert the USB, open UltraDMG, select your DMG file and USB, and click a button. The interface is simple and the steps are very simple. I think it should be helpful to you.
Before creating macOS bootable usb on Windows 10. You can't just throw a USB in there and expect it to work. Make sure to format the USB to FAT32 before you start. You can do this from Windows— just right-click the drive in File Explorer, choose 'Format', and select FAT32. If you choose NTFS, you'll hit a brick wall later on.
You need the actual macOS dmg file to create the USB. You can usually get this by downloading it directly from the Mac App Store (if you have access to a Mac). Otherwise, be super careful where you download this from. A site that seems okay might have a virus-up-your-boot drive kind of situation going on.
