Nevermind, I went ahead and installed Origin and to my surprise, it will still let you download the MP DLCs even if it doesn't recognize you as having EA Play

That is a key point and I'll remember to link to other people running into this problem! So, correct me if I'm wrong, the solution is simple:
1) Log onto Origin (NOT EA Desktop app)
2) Key step: Download the free 5 MP DLC. You do this from the game page, "extra content", even though Origin doesn't recognize your EA Pass, so cannot play it on Origin.
3) Exit Origin, and go and play your Game Pass version it through the EA Desktop app
If that indeed is what you did, we have a viable, and simple workaround!
Yep, that is indeed what I did. Origin will surprisingly still let you download the 5 free MP DLCs even if it doesn't recognize your EA pass
