When it comes to long calls you are right - 75p won't offset the absent incoming charges. However the average duration of mobile calls ranges between 40-90s, so those 75p with Passport would cover the roaming costs for an average call.
Within the EU those 75p will even increase the income from incoming calls, given the fact average calls don't exceed 2 minutes.
So my point is, that Passport's business model relies on a charge for incoming calls. Maybe Vodafone just has this summer promotion to decoy customers and when they are in the trap, they'll start charging those 75p again.
