Aha! Hmm, I'm using d-feet but I can't see the method
HandsfreeGateway.Connect on bluez. I do see Audio.Connect, but no
mention of HandsfreeGateway.

I'm actually always initiating from the phone side. On Android I do
have a checkbox on the phone that reads "Media audio: connected to
media audio" which to me sounds a bit like A2DP and not HFS.

Is there anything specific I need to configure for this to work or
does the package just need to "be" there?
Also, as I said before, I'm only trying to OUTPUT the audio to the
HSP/HFP, not use the Pi as a microphone, or does ofono need to be
present anyway?
