This hold in general -- if $E \to A$ is any injection of sets, then $\beta E \to \beta A$ is also an injection, whose image consists of precisely those ultrafilters containing the image of $E$. And yes, the use of $p$ is crucial -- I think of $p$ as corresponding to a decomposition $B = \amalg_{a \in A} p^{-1}(a)$, and $f,g$ as choice functions selecting $f(a),g(a) \in p^{-1}(a)$ for each $a$. Then $E$ is the set where the choice functions agree, and $A \setminus E$ is the set where they disagree.
Feb 7, 2020 at 21:57 comment added Martin Brandenburg Thanks! The proof for $g^{-1}(V)=\emptyset$ uses $p$. Why is it sufficient to prove $E \in \mathcal{F}$? Why need an ultrafilter $\mathcal{F}'$ on $E$ with $\mathcal{F}= i_* \mathcal{F}'$, where $i : E \to A$ is the inclusion. Do you take $\mathcal{F}' = \{T \cap E : T \in \mathcal{F}\}$?
