So do I not need the PassMe device if I don't have a DS?

Right. A Passme is a simple DS boot device that tricks the system into booting DS mode from slot 2, the GBA port.

As the GBA doesn't have a DS slot, you don't need a PassMe at all if you don't plan on using an M3 Perfect on a DS. The only thing the PassMe or similar allows you to do is run the M3 Perfect in DS mode which allows you to play DS games from the M3 Perfect. Otherwise, the DS will play it as if it were a GBA game.

That might be confusing so I'll clarify that again.

PassMe not required for GBA
PassMe not required to play GBA ROMs on M3 even when using a DS
PassMe only required to play DS ROMS on M3 when using a DS.

Don't worry - everything was as clear as day.  Where I live. With contacts on.
