Does passive form used as respectful form apply to all verbs, transitive and intransitive included?
Yes. Passive form is commonly used in daily conversation where honorific forms like "お -masu stem になる " or special honorific verbs like いらっしゃる or 召し上がる sound too polite, i.e., distant/remote/standoffish.
