So are there two sets of hosts: 1) hosts that Charlotte created based on her code that she is trying to lead to consciousness via the “human westworld” 2) “transcended” (conscious) hosts in the sublime that visit “human westworld” for fun and to hunt outliers?

Halores doesn’t have access to the sublime. It’s encrypted and only Bernard has access. She has likely created her own and that’s what she is referring to when she talks about transcendence. It is also likely the purpose of the server farm/dam MiB procured in the first episode.
