Peer,
I don't know the answer to your question, but it should be easy to find
empirically -- just stick the magnet up there and see if it stays.
If it doesn't, I'd suggest making some short studs from all-thread rod,
with screwdriver slots added, to put in the holes, making them magnetic.
Mark your holes and drill them.
Then, cut some longer studs from that same stick of all-thread and put
those in the holes before you attempt to mount the cabinets -- it will be a
LOT easier to put the cabinets on those temporary studs, and add nuts, than
it will be to insert bolts through the cabinet holes into the captive nuts.
JWID,
Ken H.
