'you may flip the disk and simultaneously move it according to that new game piece's abilities'

>Does it mean that I can flip and make a move with flipped piece in one move? 

Yes. If that side has its Pilgrim or Goblin King on board, his/her flippable pieces on the magic river can flip identity and move as the flipped piece, or not flip and move as the original piece--they have the potentially as either.

'On the other hand, when a piece stands on a magic river square, it attains the powers of both sides of its disk, making it a doubly powerful piece with (in a way) two simultaneous but separate identities. This can lead to opportunistic flipping, perhaps the happiest moments in the game. If your Pilgrim or Goblin King isnโ€™t on the board, you deny your forces this power.'
