Dalvik and ART both generate native code. ART does it at app install time and Dalvik, being a JIT, does it at app runtime. He was speculating about quality of the generated native code, not its existence.

Google has been very quiet about ART generated code quality. I haven't found any benchmarks that would compliment its performance either. It's probably better than Dalvik but worse than mature optimizing compilers.

I don't think they have been very quiet about ART. They had a whole I/O session and they recently dedicated a whole dev backstage podcast to ART and its future evolution (btw, some nice things are planned : suppression of the 65k limit, code hot-swap, ...).
