Anyone know what these two locked partitions are?

Changed name to Container Disk2 5369mb after installing Ventura 13.0.1
The other partition is Container Disk1 524mb

Fallback recovery OS is on the disk when reinstalling or booting with pressing the power button twice and holding. with Monterey 12.5.1 Image 1.7gb

Is this just how it should be on Apple Silicone? Can I wipe the Fallback recovery with Apple Configurator? Or remove/merge these two partitions to free up the space?

- Read that restoring a Mac with another apple silicone Mac using Apple Configurator and usb-c cable would restore/reinstall the Fallback Recovery OS to the actual OS being installed.
 
These are system partitions, cannot be removed and I wouldn't advise tinkering in Terminal, hopefully the system is robust enough that you can't touch them anyway, my partition map is identical to yours

Do you know what the 5.37gb partition is needed for?

And if it is possible to locate the location of the 1.7gb fallback recovery image and update it to Ventura 13.0.1 from 12.5.1
