Yea but considering he was made leader of Ninshu, i'm pretty sure it was intended to be political power. Beside, having Hagoromo's chakra doesn't automatically give you Rinnegan, because else Obito would've awoken his own. Similarly, giving Ashura the Rinnegan would again go completely against his belief, namely that no single person should have all this power. Which is also why i have trouble with the idea that Hagoromo gave Ashura actual power.
