Hello and greets to Indonesia!

Yes, you can. First install what you need and then create a new image with "dd" command.
I recommend to read the "MagPi" magazines, there are some articles about this - especially how to use "dd", resizing partitions, etc.

You will find them here:

I have some tips (I make the raspberry pi image), but it's late here
Look at the -r option in pacman
Find out about localepurge
pacman -Scc
Delete logs
Remove generated ssh keys
Remove everything in /root/
Fill spare space with dd if=/dev/zero of=filler
Sync and delete filler
Compression will be better
Do on small card, or when you dd use count= big enough to capture both partitions

But I just want to Remastering Arch Linux Image like Custom Ubuntu Image with UCK

Not Remake the Installed Arch Linux ARM on SD card to Image File again..

Yes, you can mount image files as loops, google for that, remember there are 2 partitions.
Then use pacman with -r option, look it up
