I'm wondering if you are confusing two ideas. It has to be possible for anyone to be able to call you just like they can on an ordinary POTS line. Registration is for those who need to appear in some sense "internal" to the PBX. Using dialplan contexts you can offer very different functionality to callers who are registered versus those who are "just calling".
For example, you might assign all registered users to a context call "internal" and provide access to all the dial plans. You might set the context of all non-registered callers to an "external" dialplan context. The internal context might provide access to all the telephony services an internal user might expect (eg dial 7 to get to voicemail automatically). The external context might direct a caller to the operator or to a voice prompt. Optionally, you might provide an extension for voicemail so that external employees calling from home or a client site can get to their messages. Clearly the caller will need to be prompted for a voice mail box and password but that's covered by the voicemail system.

Of course, when I'm not registered at asterisk, people can't call me, but it's still a huge security hole, that unregistered Clients can make calls. Is there a way to tell asterisk to only allow registered clients making calls? I know about the "Anti Ex Girlfriend" function, but this is not what I want.
