AFAIK, WebAssembly code will come from places like LLVM IR. The compiler pipeline can simply choose to omit references to the original source code. Without the source, the WA code (whether in binary or text) will be just IR data. I haven't read IR code, but I'm guessing it's far past the AST stage, with many aggressive optimizations applied to it. It won't look anything like the original source.
