when using remote debugger, the debuggee is cross-compiled

This is remote-target, not remote-host. Dejagnu is running on build,
test case is compiled on host, and executable is running on target. In
the case you described, host == build, so the test case is not copied.
However, in remote-host, host != build, Dejagnu has to copy source file
to the remote host first, and launch compiler on the remote host to
compile the test case. The executable can be run on the same machine or
a different one.
Thus, I always believed that there is no need to copy
the source files to the remote machine, as GDB has the sources available.
Are these assumptions wrong?
Usually, we don't, but in remote-host testing, we have to.
