To implement new object types and not use the custom shape module: yes.

No. If you want to stop speculating you should start reading the source.

Even if the assumption above would be correct I dont get the conclusion.
It is possible to implement renderers in PyDia, because someone cared to 
implement the wrapper. See, e.g.:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/plug-ins/python/pydia-render.c

Wrapping DiaObject would be vastly more difficult and IMO much less useful.
