That sounds completely wrong.

It may be, but from my experience, that's how it works.
And what do you mean by "Dolphin only enables buttons used in that game"? No, really, that's how you think it works. From a technical point of view, that makes absolutely no sense.
So let's say Y isn't used in a GC game, so that means you can't use button activated codes that require Y to be used.
I can't think of a game where a button is actually never used, but even if there were one, Dolphin wouldn't know that. Controller input polling is exactly the same across all games.
