Like getNativeSize, this undocumented function was discovered in FCP4's Widescreen filter. It does the same thing as AspectOf, except it reports the native pixel aspect ratio of a clip instead of dest's pixel aspect ratio.
This seems most useful for mixing 16x9 wide clips with standard 4:3 clips. GetNativeAspect does correctly report the pixel aspect ratio of PAL clips in NTSC timelines, but those clips are still hamstrung by differeing frame rates.
