Any entity can go through Nether Portals. However, considering the direction of them can change, etc, velocity is not maintained. You shoot an arrow through, it lands on the ground. He's making portals maintain momentum, so things fly through.
I don't really get what you're thinking, though.

Players still take time to move between portals. But all other entities are instant.
