Everything you said sounds correct.

Here is a code snippet that should work:
ButtonCell cell = newButtonCell();
// Create a column using the ButtonCell.
Column<RowObject, String> column = new Column<RowObject, String>(cell) {
  public String getValue(RowObject object) {
    return "Show " + object.getListSize(); // Get a String from the object.
  }
};
// Set a fieldupdater.
column.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<RowObject, String>() {
  public void update(int index, RowObject object, String value) {
    Window.alert("You clicked " + object.toString());
  }
});
myCellTable.addColumn(column);
