Hello, I think what you are asking is this:
If the ALTO protocol uses any type of indirect aggregation (ASNs, PID, etc) as opposed to plain prefixes, does the ALTO Server needs to expand them? I do no think this issue is specific to ASNs. As long as you have the proper interfaces /query mechanism in place, it seems to me you are free to use an aggregation method that suits your deployment. The ALTO Protocol draft and the presentation at the last IETF provided examples on PIDs usage and resolution. But that could be ASNs or any other aggregation.
