As for this specific "deal", you will NOT get a full month for the second SIM for $5 - only a partial month. Then for the 2nd month it'll jump back up to $10.
Say your payment for the first SIM is due on the 1st of the month. You order the 2nd SIM on the 15th of the month. It takes them a week to get it to you, so you get it on the 22nd, and it'll already be pre-activated. The "month" you get for $5 will restart on the 1st of the month, aligned with the first SIM. ie, you'll get 1 week of service for $5, then have to pay $10 for the next month.
This is simply not a good deal for the state that Boost is currently in...
It does not require port in, but be extra careful when you check out because if you selected the wrong port/no port option, there isn't a way to cancel the order nor changing that option later, from my limited experience.

Per h2o site it is 2g speed 128 kbps!
After you activated the $15 plan, can you select another plan?
Maybe there is a cheaper plan like $100/year plan?

So think like $20 + taxes for 2 lines
Look at https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostMob...ed_t
I'm adding this to the OP so everyone is informed. I'm not trying to hard sell this plan. But it does look like it is a good deal given the caveats, if you can accept terrible CS and want the absolutely cheapest 2GB plan out there. (Plus their Boost One app gives you credits. Or maybe that is a waste of time for some people for the pennies they give.)
If you can pay a bit more (like Tello for $11) then you don't have to deal with Boost and their caveats. I guess everyone be their own judge.

That said, you're right on the pre-activation practice, and as I've found out after wasting hours with their customer service, once they pre-activate the SIM, you cannot port a number, so your selection during checkout is very important and cannot be reversed (in my case it was $100 of mistake because it was prepaid for a year, vs $10)
This is how I think about Boost. If they are a truly exceptional company, they wouldn't be offering these low prices to try to sign people up. You do put down $5 and pretend they will treat you like the king. You first figure out the ins-and-outs of them and then you take advantage of their deals. Same thing with buying Metro phones for $50 and getting it unlocked. Same thing with buying Samsung phones from Google Fi and getting your $400 saving.
And as I found out over the years, the freedom country is not known for its customer service. You can pay hundreds a month with AT&T and they will still treat you like crap. The only dividing line between "good" and "bad" CS in the US of A is whether they are reasonable or unreasonable.
