No.
 
In order to preserve the partition information *you must dd the raw
disk*
 
dd id=/dev/sda od = /dev/nvme0n1 (or whatever)
 
That will create a two partition disk with the UUIDS of the partitions
the same as is mentioned in the boot data: If they don't match it wont

Are you saying that this command (the one right above) will clone the
whole disc, and the job is done? Probably not. When I run "dd --help" on
the system i want to clone, there is no information about the switch
"id" you use in the command.

That command is wrong (or for an odd version of dd - but I think
it's a finger slip) make that:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1m

The add bs=1m will probably work wonders for performance.
