Yeah, you've got an extremely large super-Jupiter but even if its' magnetosphere is in proportion to its; mass (c.12x Jupiter) L4 or 5 would be about 1 AU away. The radiation belts won't stretch that far.

The Earth-type planet might still need a largish moon of its' own to avoid tidal locking or at least length of day issues.
