That's not going to work because the whole string is parsed before any of
it is executed. In particular, parse analysis of the INSERT is going to
spit up because neither the table nor even the schema exist yet.

The reason this happens to work is that CREATE TABLE is a utility
statement, which doesn't do any parse analysis to speak of, in
particular it doesn't notice at parse time whether the mentioned
schema exists. However, that's an implementation detail that
could change from release to release. By and large, trying to
EXECUTE multiple statements in one query string is something best
avoided, especially if any of them are DDL.
