I'm reading this as wanting to have a Lua module so that on Commons you can retrieve the description of a english wikipedia page... ?
I'm not sure if the new descriptions have the cross wiki capabilities of Wikidata... Remember that for cross wiki functionality, the change event has to propagate to all the other wikis. Currently only Wikidata and Commons have infrastructure in place for that (and both very dedicated towards their own use case).
Now that the descriptions are local, I suspect they cannot be used by other wikis in the same way, similarly to how other wiki's have no idea if an interwiki page even exists, they cannot know it's local description as they cannot know their local interwiki links either.
