So far so good.

This step doesn't make sense in this context.

No. In the home directory of system user "test", create a file
".qmail-test-peter". If you want to forward this mail elsewhere, then put
the line "&forwardaddress@forwarddomain" into it.
If you want to send it to another local system user, you can forward to
that user.
If you want to store the mail directly, put a Maildir or mbox delivery line
in it.
You don't need a local user "peter-test" for this -- in fact, it defeats the
purpose of virtualdomains.
