Awareness is unnecessary for actually having a purpose.This does not make any sense to me, for a moral value serves the purpose of the prescriber of said moral value. How would that value have any purpose independently of its prescriber? Is it to say these ideas, like 'good,' just exists on its own?

No. Objective doesn't mean independent of some entities, it means independent of all entities. My morality doesn't become objective solely by the virtue of being independent of you and the same applies to your god.
Correct, as it does apply to God, for he is in fact independent of all entities, thus would be objective as you define.
