It's highly doubtful.  Not only are they not all lined up perfectly when you
pull them from the box (which should be the case if they're all oriented the
same way in a custom-fit puck as they go through the paint line), but I've even
got at least one 2-sided minifig head (the "gent" from the Werewolf Ambush set)
where the two faces are not directly opposite each other, and two other copies
where they are.  Besides, since they still paint the blotch on the front of the
neck post, they have to wait for the paint to dry before they can put the head
on, and they'd then have to wait for even more paint to dry before they could
pack the final product.  If they paint them seperately, they can be drying at
the same time.
