I THINK what you're asking whether the changes to a Live USB system ALSO get installed down to your machine if you make changes while live.

I do not believe that any do this anymore for a number of reasons, mostly the complexity of tracking those changes through install steps.

Correct. I believe this is exactly what OP asked - if it's possible to copy changes made in the live environment over to the actual install. Unfortunately this is not easy to do.
