Yes, the Oregon Trail went through Oregon.
Beacuse it went to Oregon. But many trails branched off to other places.
The Oregon Trail led to the Willamette Valley of Oregon.The Oregon Trail was a dirt wagon road that went from St. Louis, Missouri, up the Mississippi along the banks of the the Mississippi River to the Missouri. It went to the North Platt. From there it went through South Pass on through Idaho to the Columbia River and from there, along the banks of the Columbia to the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
They went on the Oregon trail because Oregon Had better places for hunting, trapping, and fishing :)

People wanted to go west and settle there. Some went west to get rich, by usually finding gold.
The first wagon train on the Oregon Trail moved in 1839-40, but, as the name suggests, they went to Oregon.After 1843, wagons using the California Trail usedt he eastern parts of the Oregon Trail to get to the California Trail.
The important thing was that 500,000 went from the Midwest to Oregon. Some of them went on from there to Washington or California. These people wanted to settle down and farm in an area with good land and good weather.
They went so they could go for new land.
