Not quite.  Ciderpress can not create the partitions.  The partitions already exist on the Golden Orchard CD.  But Ciderpress can view both partitions and you will be able to delete all files except the 2 partition names.

The Prodos and Basic.system system files should be copied to the Prodos partition to make it boot into Prodos

Just a note: the boot block for the Prodos partition starts on block 64 of the CD.
