Her passive definitely works at level 1. It's a key to jungling on her. You take the golem level by opening with Ignite (to get the 10ap from mastery), dropping W on it, and then smiting it when the MR reduction is fully stacked. Smite does magic damage (so boosted slightly by the MR reduction) and heals you through her passive.
