This is NOT true for BINARY. If a message containing a BINARY body part is

octet for octet, as when it was composed.
Yes, *assuming that the user agent is indeed expecting a MIME message*. If
the gateway is saving the data for a non-MIME user agent, it should
translate to whatever that agent expects.
