Can I make Amiga floppies on a Mac?

You'll need a catweasel controller. Workbench images come with the AmigaForever package from Cloanto.
Besides, the OS is on ROM, you won't need to start your games using a workbench disk.

Hmm, then that raises an interesting question:  A large number of the disks I got with the machine don't do anything when I insert them at bootup - the screen just keeps showing the "Insert Disk" graphic.  This doesn't happen with all disks though - maybe 50-60% though.  Does this mean that many of my disks are bad?  I guess I'd assumed that I wouldn't be able to run them without a GUI disk.

Well, lots (most?) of games came on more than one disk :-)
Btw. there are loading screens which nowadays makes you think it's a major error (lots of flickering horizontal lines,  for example)

I'll double-check later, but I'm pretty sure the graphic says Kickstart 1.3.  Does that make a difference,

Ehmm, you're sure the graphic doesn't say Workbench 1.3? (like, a white screen and a white hand holding a blue disk with workbench 1.3 on it?)

 and also, are there ROM updates / upgrades for these machines?

Thanks!

Yeps, there are. Though, there are quite a lot games incompatible with newer kickstarts. You might like to add a kickstart switch to keep compatibility.
