If you want to have a vise that represents both stages of the part, you're going to need to have two vice models loaded, one in each orientation. Create another setup for the second op and set your WCS accordingly.
Personally, I just keep it at the soft/hard jaw stage to reduce the clutter on-screen.

To be fair, you didn't ask "how do I show the stock in the second op" so I went with the more basic understanding of "how do I machine the second side" which is a very common (and understandably so) question.
So, to use the stock from the prior op, there's this little gem in the preferences:
And set your Setup like this:

The part doesn't move it's physical position. Your Design setup is going to look like this:
And you're going to toggle visibility as needed for each vise.

Whether you have vises side by side or one over the other, joints need to be added to do things properly. So no, moving a part isn't really something that's done. It can be achieved however through joints and motion links (I think). But really, unless you're doing super complex stuff, a set of jaws in each position and selecting those in my Setup is really all I do for the large bulk of what I run in my own shop, which are no simple parts, to be sure.
The Sync Visibility button in Manufacture makes light work of this chore

Just another option is to just add the amount of rectangle block to your original model and then use that as "Solid Model" , you know how much there is because you will have just machined the first side so can actually physically measure it accurately, a bit "ugly" but works well if done right. I would always use "soft jaws machined out for the shape as in images.
