If yes, then HorseA with best jock on board would be 1kg worse off than if same HorseA had newest apprentice on board (and after 3kg claim)?

No I think with the best jock on board the horse would be +2Kg for a bonus. With a bad 3Kg apprentice he would be +3Kg better off from the weight claim and -2Kg better off (or 2Kg worse off) with the jockey penalty. This gives +3Kg -2Kg or +1Kg overall.
Therefore good jockey +2Kg better off, poor apprentice +1Kg better off making the good jockey a 1Kg better prospect.
Seems a bit under-rated for the good jockey to me but the system gives the best results with those weightings.
