Registration with autoyast is currently still in developing mode.
E.g.
Bug 888168 - cloned autoinst.xml doesn't contain entry for registration

We will post on the list, when there is a working version available.

My question is if an Add-On Product (e.g. SDK) gets correctly registered at the SMT / CC as it is added after the registration. I myself found it more straight forward if Yast first does the add-on stuff and then the registering. Otherwise Yast would have to register again (in the background) after adding add-ons which makes the total installation process slower.

I will ask the responsible person for.

Yes, you are completely right ! :-)
