Putting Down Backer Board...Do I need to add a SLC or can I just put it down?

I am remodeling my kitchen. I pulled up the tile, which was down, when I bought the house. The person who installed it, placed the tile directly on the plywood subfloor. I am going to be putting down backer board, so I can put vinyl down.

Do I need to use a SLC to level the floor before I put the backer board down? Do I need to use SLC after I put the backer board down? Or do I even need to use SLC, because I am putting vinyl over the backer board?

Sorry, I am new to this. I have a plywood subfloor, which is in good condition. I have got all of the old thin set off of the plywood (subfloor). By backer board, I am talking about a cement flooring, which I will be putting over my plywood subfloor.

I will try to get pictures, as soon as I am able. Any help is appreciated!
