The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # e98855 is indeed a fit for your 2018 Honda Odyssey. You can absolutely see the instructions. I will email them to you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And to add a trailer wiring harness to your 2018 Honda Odyssey you can use # C59496 which will add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
