It certainly sounds like all you need is in the repository, and the usage of the resulting binaries are still restricted. Whether they find assets correctly or not correctly should not matter, if they are somewhere else.

To use the binaries, you need the game assets. The only legal way to acquire the game assets is to own the game, as EA have not included them in this release.
This is less a licensing issue, but stating the real limitations, that EA aren't volunteering to do the leg work to remove. Which is fine.
You could word it differently. Why not mention it?
It is separate problem if runtime assets are missing and the game is not actually a game without them or gives an error message. Let's also assume that you can bypass DX dependencies with other means.
The current wording sounds like binaries are always proprietary, no matter what.
