Not sure if someone else has already burst your bubble, but no it doesn't work like this. What happens simultaneously are the rolls. You roll for all your reserves, and Blessings and maledictions, then you move your reserve units onto the table. The only difference this makes is that you will be aware of what you have coming in from reserve before you cast your powers on the already placed models. It's nice for planning your next turn's moves, but not game changing.
Hold on there... you are bursting too many bubbles.
The FAQ explains that some things all happen in this new,nebulous 'beginning of the movement phase". As examples, they include Blessings, Reserve rolls, and Outflanking rolls.
Outflanking rolls clearly happen only when a unit is actually arriving from reserves, and thus moving onto the board.
Now, you could try and claim that you are allowed to move onto the battlefield via Outflank and then cast blessings.... but can't move onto the battlefield via normal reserves... but that sure seems like creating a distinction that is not really there.
(Just like you could try and claim it does not hold for maledictions, only blessings....equally spurious)
What we have is a pretty clear indication that rolls and arrivals are part of this "beginning of the phase" pseudo-step that the FAQ has created. (But the psyker still can't arrive and cast....)
Not quite. Outflanking rolls are made to determine which side the unit comes in from at the point they arrive. You still roll a reserves roll for the unit at the start of the phase to see if they turn up this turn. Arrivals are not part of the start of the movement phase, you move units onto the table during the movement phase, after it has started.
At the start of a race the gun goes off. If you're already moving at the start of the race you're cheating.
