I have an Aukey dock and an Anker dock and they both work both ways. When there’s no power supply connected to it, power is drawn from the laptop. When there is a power supply, my laptop gets charged instead.
Wait, what is the point of a dock if not to dock your laptop so you have access to an additional monitor, keyboard, mouse,… while only needing to plugin one cable?

Is your dock not always in the same location?
It’s more of a hub than a stationary dock but it works the same way. If you have power connected to the hubs power port then yes it is just one cable
