The media board can be emulated, but currently it's HLE'd. Not all games were distributed on disc, some were on flash roms & some were downloaded from sega. Treating them all like iso's is convenient for playing the games, but isn't documentation for the original media.

The iso's that are being used for emulation are the ones that were put together for piracy using netboot & I believe the original contents are different (iirc they are encrypted). The media board does contain an iso, just not these ones. A dump of a gdrom and the iso stored in the media board aren't the same either.
You can also play the games on a Wii using quadforce, which is where the patches come from. The game is patched so loading goes to the Wii drive and controls go to the gamecube ports. Effectively the game is converted to run on retail hardware.
