Your iGate is fine Liz. Later on when the Riverina is rejigged, we’ll sort out who’s iGate does what (for those who are willing :) )

Yes, if configured correctly, the local repeater objects you are referring to will still be there. 
But keep in mind, objects should ideally be only broadcast in the local are and not usually digipeated. 
That is their path should be NOCALL so only local area receives the packet (including the iGate, which will then send the object to APRS-IS).
Generally this works well as the object can be generated by the digi itself (which is how the 146.750 object here in Wagga is generated)
