Yes, I figured this out by testing it out. My understanding was that a factory wipe/reset would mean a blank slate of what the rom came with.

You said OMJ includes his custom apps in /data/app, is placing the apps in there the only way to get this done? Or is it just a chef's preference? Reason I am asking is to see (since I am not a chef) if a chef could build the rom in a way that would avoid losing the apps if a person resets/wipes.
