You're right that there are only two real ways right now. I (and others) have actually given Markus and the crew a pretty hard time about only having those two options on several occasions [], and they've indicated there should be more options in the future as PT expands. Also, achievements still to be added in the future could potentially add PP-generation strategies not presently available.

But ya, as a starting point at least, most of the strategy for 'earning' PP will be in the AH. If that can't realistically be done, that may be an issue the dev team will need to deal with.

I think there will be enough arbitrage opportunities though. There will always be a player selling a card cheap on 'buy it now' because they want the PP ASAP to win another auction, or someone who simply doesn't know or care what a card is worth, etc. for the savvy PT 'entrepreneur'

We'll see, but at least for now people seem to be enjoying it pretty well. Time will tell once the initial novelty wears off.
