Does the gag order on Trump still obtain if he decides to take the witness stand?

No. The order is a limit on Trump's ability to make extrajudicial statements on the subjects described therein. It would not have any applicability to his statements as a witness. Full copy of the order at the link below.

Note that if Trump takes the witness stand, the judge will be there overseeing his testimony. So if Trump were to make statements in court that were to interfere with the operation of the trial (disparaging court staff, threatening witnesses, etc.) the judge would have the ability to intervene.
