yes you only need the binary file to program the flash, you don't need to provide the source code. The .elf file is all you need.

elf2flash and nios2-flash-programmer are the command line tools that you need to become familiar with. They are both covered, adequately, in the nios ii flash programmer user guide (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_nios2_flash_programmer.pdf). 

 There are also analogous commands for creating "flash" files (SRECs) for binary files (bin2flash) and SOFs (sof2flash).  Cheers,  slacker
