Can I put another cog set on the other side and make it become a Flip Flop wheel. I am very bad at this Fixed gear stuff but I want a single speed.

Looks like it’s threaded for that, so yeah. Get a single speed freewheel and put it on there.
Yes, the other side of your hub is designed for a freewheel. Slap one on, and have fun.
To help you in the future, if there’s two threads, it’s a fixed gear side of a hub. If there’s only one thread, it’s a freewheel.
If you want to put a fixed gear cog on the freewheel side…. Since you’re asking, DO NOT DO THAT.
If you weren’t asking, I’ve seen it done at the velodrome. But I would never run that setup on the street.
Looks like a flipflop hub, you can use a fixed gear on one side and a freewheel on the other
