Does creating yin and yang or the concept of yin and yang grant transduality type 2?

Depends on how the yin yang is described in the verse and if its creator transcends it or not.

Transduality requires to transcend the system of duality and be in a non-dual state
Create has many meanings, and is not always superior to what he creates. Therefore Create ≠ Transcend (depending on context)

Even if they create the concept of it?
What if they existed prior to the world's creation and was the force that created the whole world in the first place?
Its yin and yang magic. Except it isn't really portrayed as something strictly binary but rather 2 of 6 types of magic, but they are ment for opposite uses. So I dont know if it is a duality. But I've seen people say that yin and yang is transdual.

Duality by itself isn't impressive. For example, you have black and white, two dual colors. In the verse itself it needs to explain how Duality works and if it's on a conceptual level.
Also, in the looks of it, this specific verse you are talking about only uses yin and yang as you said, magic. Which isn't really what Taoists concept of yin and yang are.

Well magic is pretty important in the verse as mana was used to create the world from a "white" state, but other than that it isn't really portrayed as anything conceptual. Just magic that generally involves buffing (yang) or debuffing (yin). It still doesn't seem like a dual system to me personally though.
How do the taoists define it?

Yin Yang would be transdual if it was described as it is IRL. From what you're telling me, it doesn't seem like transduality but I'd need the scans to really know tbh.
