Gimp is a RGB editor so all you get is RGB + an alpha channel. Other channels are selection masks. That is not going to transfer to a PDF. Ir is RGB required and not CMYK ? Where you can add extra layer separations ? You can get CMYK PDF's but not from Gimp.
Looks like Gimp is not the only tool you will require. Maybe for your customers creating something with transparency, a png for example, but not for the PDF.
I knocked this out with Scribus, Same PDF, shows the transparency in PS but not Gimp. https://i.imgur.com/4ALiluF.jpg
