Isn't there a problem with non-type 1 vectorial fonts being rasterized during this conversion ?
No.
PDF is just a simplified, compressed encoding of PostScript. Unless there is some special reason to do so, why would a conversion utility go to the trouble of rasterizing fonts instead of just copying them in?
Perhaps something like ImageMagick might do that; its internal format is a raster.

PDF is not just simplified, compressed encoding of PostScript. Or at least - LaTeX have some features PDF-only. For example PDF can have hyper-links (both to local and external content). It can be scripted in JavaScript (don't ask me why) and can have form (OK. So I can fill them and print probably). Regards
