Yes, if you want to keep partition 1 as vfat to use the usb mass storage you need to do this and also need that custom initfs to select partition 2 booting.

You shoud remove all steps. There are no rootfs modifications needed for rootfs on mmc. Just rsync to have exact copy of your flash rootfs on mmc.
