The PassMe allows code from the GBA cart to load onto the DS memory and run from there, taking advantage of all the DS hardware. The code is not read straight from the GBA cart. There are no working NDS roms. If there were, they would not fit in the DS memory.

Edit: [I doubt this much swearing is allowed on the board so I deleted it. If you thought the PassMe was for commercial roms, consider yourself thoroughly bitched at.]

Does this mean we can essentially make homebrew GBA Games use the DS's Buttons thanks to PassMe? Or would they have to be converted into .nds first?

It means you can essentially make ds games using the full ds hardware. all the buttons, the touchscreen, both screens at once. Sound functionalality has yet to be figured out, but maybe with the metroid dump and mario dump, they'll figure out how to code sound.
