Hello,
Everything is recorded by the reader. The lead-in (the intro) that you heard is known as a "disclaimer" - a declaration to disclaim any copyright, that is a promise not to demand the right to it. We place all materials created by us here on LibriVox in the public domain ("общественное достояние").
So, again, to answer your question, yes, the disclaimer of rights is recorded along with the rest of the book.
However, if you have already recorded it before being established as a reader, before creating a book project, and so on, we most likely can't use it. You're free to upload it to Archive.org as a recording (or add some kind of video to it and put it on YouTube, for instance).
To record something LV can use, we follow a specific process, where a book is proposed for recording, accepted, the book coordinator (if it's a solo recording, the reader is the book coordinator) creates a project using the template, then the book is adopted for production by one of the Administrators (who thus becomes a Meta Coordinator for that project), and so forth. I think this process is described on our Wiki. Have you seen it?
