This implies that it would be OK as long as the other carbs for the day are low enough. It also implies that it is a food. I acknowledge that it's treated as a food, but I am asking why.

Violetgrey, I really think you are missing the whole point.
Dr Atkins has the Carbohydrate Gram Counter in his book to show the grams of carbs IN ALL FOODS. In no way is he implying you eat ALL THE FOODS LISTED.
Near the end of the carb gram Counter he lists some SAMPLES (but not all) of SOME FATTENING ITEMS.
Pasta is a starch and a high carb item. There is NO SUGGESTION you should eat it. Quite the opposite. There is no actual list of low carb foods in the Carbohydrate Gram Counter in the book.
