I've found a bunch of examples of TH350/speedo bullet/cable assemblies and none of them have that part - they all just show what looks like the cable connected directly to the bullet going into the tail housing.

Can you tell me a little more about the converter, like is it to compensate for different gear ratio or tire size? I don't know exactly what to call it so I have not been able to find anything that looks like it in order to learn more about that part...
A more technical name for it would be "ratio adapter" or "speedometer compensator". If you put both of those terms in your search string more will come up on it. Yes, it is used to correct driveline ratio problems.
