URL slugs converting when custom URL added

    Hello… I am considering using wordpress to rebuild a website I already have. I have some questions that I could not find under the topics provided.

    I want to set up the site using the URL that is a FREE URL (ex: mywebsite.wordpress.com) and create the categories and pages as well as add the images and content for static pages before I publish to the URL I already have a site built on. If I do this will the slugs that I create for the categories and pages automatically convert to a slug that is custom to the the URL I own (ex: mywebsite.wordpress.com/special-page.html converts to mywebsite.com/special-page.html)?
    I ask because I do not want to take down the site that is currently at “mywebsite.com” while it takes me a few days to in put the information into my wordpress account.
    I found the information for an existing domain and how the wordpress pages will redirect but I want to know if there are other options (other than converting the pages myself after they are created).

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
