A little question, are they actually native resolutions? I mean, the GPU of the Wii could execute those resolutions?

1x (native) is the maximum resolution that the GameCube and Wii support. Everything above that is a Dolphin enhancement!

Wow that's amazing, but why native so?

If I understand your question correctly it is because:
1. The GPU of the GC/Wii isn't that fast compared to PC Graphics cards of today
2. The time when the consoles came out most people were still using CRT-TV's (the big old school screens)

What we do when we increase the Internal Resolution and multiply it by a number: e.g. 640x528 = native, thus 2x IR = 1280x1058, we do this so the pixels stay exactly square and all the game logic that uses these square pixels keeps working correctly.
Check my profile for up to date specs.
