I am the proud owner of a new Lodge griddle. I seasoned smooth side on a gas grill for a few hours. Now, if I flip it, I would burn off the seasoning? Correct? So, do side B in the oven or what else do you folks suggest? Thanks.

I am well familiar with cast iron. That said, two sided cooking surfaces are unfamiliar to me. If seasoning side A on open heat, wood coals or gas grill, am I damaging side A, that exposed to the direct heat. Will cooking on one side degrade the surface of the other?

Remember that the seasoning is actually a layer of burnt on oil based product of some kind. Unless you get it's temp up to the burning/smoking/degrading point of whatever you use you're not really seasoning the cast iron.
And yes if you flip it over you'll stand a good chance of damaging a well seasoned surface.

Let me ask another but related question. My recently purchased Lodge 2 sided griddle came out of the box "Seasoned & Ready to Use". I didn't plan on seasoning it again other than the actual food being cooked on it. Right or wrong?

Right. You can season again if you want to, but just using it correctly should maintain the seasoning.
To the OP, I season my 2 sided griddle both sides at the same time. I use my propane grill, which keeps the odor outside. I coat both sides with crisco, and follow directions on the Lodgemfg.com site.

Will direct flame, say. from a wood fire, burn off the coating on the directly exposed side?
