Homesharing + Apple Remote App on 2 iPads = different display

Question

Hi everybody,
I have the following setup installed at home: An Apple TV 2 + Two iPads. My wife and I are using the devices together, so each of us has their own Apple ID / account ("MyAccount", "WifeAccount") which we are using for our iPads. However, I have entered the same account for homesharing on all devices, so it looks like this:
Apple TV 2: iTunes = MyAccount, iTunes Match = MyAccount, Homesharing (HS) = MyAccount
First iPad (me): Overall: MyAccount, HS = MyAccount
Second iPad (wife): Overall: WifeAccount, HS = MyAccount
We are using the Apple Remote iPad App on both iPads to control the Apple TV 2. However, we have the following issue:
When I use the Remote App on my iPad, I can directly access the music files which are in the iCloud through iTunes Match. "Directly" means I don't need to turn on my TV, i.e. I can see, browse through and select all music files directly on the iPad and they will start playing on the Apple TV.
So I am not streaming from the iPad to the ATV2 (i.e. no Airplay); the iTunes Match songs play directly on the ATV2 as if I were selecting them via TV. So far, so good...
Now, when my wife starts the Remote App on her iPad, she can see and select the ATV2 and she can control it via TV (with swiping and clicking), however, she doesn't see any of the music files on her iPad. This means that she always has to turn on the TV and click through all the options to select music (because that way she can see the files in the cloud), but she can't select them directly on her iPad.
I understand that she doesn't have my iTunes Match account activated on her iPad, however, from my perspective this should not be required., since the ATV2 is logged in to the iTunes Match account and thus we both can select the music via the TV interface - but only I can see and select the files via iPad.
Does anyone experience the same problem and/or has a solution for this so that my wife can select the songs on her iPad as well?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Winston,
Thank you for your answer! I agree that this seems to be a logical explanation, but then it is a strange way of implementation. After all, anyone can access all my music by going through the TV interface with the physical silver Apple remote, regardless if any computers, iPads or iPhones are turned on. So the ATV2 has access to all the music files and also lists them all, however, in the App only I can see them - my wife has to use the TV & remote.
Further, home sharing should enable all my family members to listen to all "my" music. My MacBook Pro provides music via the "physical" iTunes library, my ATV1 provides music via the physical iTunes library (stored on the HDD), my ATV2 provides music via access to iTunes Match.
So now I can access & see all files directly: MBP, MBP via ATV2, ATV1 and of course ATV2.
My wife on the other hand can only access MBP, MBP via ATV2, ATV1 but not ATV2 unless she turns on the TV.
So maybe Apple followed the logic you described when designing home sharing & the remote app, but then they moved from a great implementation on the ATV1 to a "user unfriendly" solution on the ATV2...
Oh, well, looks like I'll be keeping my ATV1 longer than I had expected ;-)
