I tried rematching from this position, in order to play it as white and found that the new game would be from the default initial position.

An  interesting experiment. l  guess you will set it up manually next time.

A rematch would only take into account the time control and rating state. Starting from a custom position is likely rare, so it isn't something even looked at in that case.
