OAuth2 difference between callback url and redirect url?

I am confused how OAuth2 takes you through an entire flow and redirects you back to the page.

For example, I have an auth endpoint: /auth/authorize, callback endpoint /auth/callback, and token endpoint: /auth/token

/auth/authorize gives back the authorize code, redirects to the /auth/callback?code=mycode, but how does this smoothly grab the access_token and redirect the user to the original page?

Should my /auth/callback redirect to my /auth/token or something? And then /auth/token redirects back to the page?
