You can get the assembly cut features to show at the part level. On the intersect tab unselect Automatic Update, Select Part Level in the drop down list, and you can select the Show feature properties in sub models to get the assembly cut to appear as a feature in the part models.

Assembly level cuts and holes have been discussed in this thread, but it should be mentioned that this is, in general, a much bigger topic with several possible approaches. For example, Layout and Skeleton Models can be used to make things match. Another technique which is very useful for parts with covers or two-piece housings of any type is the so-called Master Model technique. Create a part with surfaces representing the entire shell of the two-piece assembly, axes for holes, planes for ribs, etc. and copy that reference geometry into each of the two mating parts. Cut the surface to keep the "half" you need in each model, and proceed from there.
