Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I understand:
The mvp template, used as a first approximation of the presenter, is a small variation around the passive presentation described by the martin fowler. In some cases, when the business object (or model) is too difficult to display directly in the view, they use the adapter class between the presenter and the view. The adapter is responsible for translating the complex object into some trivial types used by the dumb final look.
Example: The facilitator must deal with the PersonList model. The view consists of a grid. The presenter transfers the model object directly to the adapter (which acts as the view), and the adapter translates it into cells, rows, columns, and vice versa.
For a very simple object to display on a view, I think it is a simple passive MVP view template like fowler.
