Answer

Radiance rules aren't published yet. This uses the printed card and current rules only, and it isn't a ruling on the new mechanics.

If by "trigger Ziggs' effect" you mean Ziggs, Short-Fused's play effect, no — "When you play me, play a Bomb gear token..." only fires when Ziggs himself is played, so a Bomb made by Satchel Charge doesn't trigger it.

What does apply is Ziggs' static line, "Abilities of friendly gear deal 1 Bonus Damage." Satchel Charge's token is a Bomb gear token, so its death trigger ("When it dies, deal 2 to an enemy there...") is an ability of a friendly gear and gets +1 — it deals 3 instead of 2 (/715; see FAQ #12821, which confirms Ziggs' bonus applies to Bomb triggers and sums with other Bonus Damage like Void Gate).

This is my interpretation based on and Ziggs' printed text. No official FAQ exists for this specific interaction.
