How are non-crypto assets represented in crypto space?

It seems you would need a trusted party/oracle of some kind, which creates the same problem as centralized stablecoins anew.

Edit: indeed a sibling comment mentions they have USDC as a backing support which means they are as stable as that.

If it is multicollateral, then yes, it somewhat involves trust, but you are dependent on a lot of various people betraying trusts along with ethereum price dipping, whereas a traditional stablecoin is entirely dependent on one entity.
