No, you would normally use SuperDuper! to do the clone from the mounted sparse image to an actual partition ("Restore - all files"; or "Backup - all files" if there is no Time Machine data on the source).

Dragging the contents will not copy permissions/ownership, other metadata, or files and dirs that are inaccessible to the copying user (other user's files, or "root only" files).
