I’m just about to plant three of these terrestrial orchid corms in a plastic plant pot which I then plan to sink into a bigger pot outside. Would I be better keeping the orchid pot inside until the frosts are past, then sinking it into the bigger pot?

Depends on your winters; see below:

There’s a section on the pot-in-pot technique here, it’s a good idea. What’s for sure is that young plants are more vulnerable, so the keeping them out of harsher colds will help the first year. But as luis_pr says, it depends on your winters.
