Just like its inferior cousine N97, is there any compus application designed for Nokia N900?

N900 doesn't have a hardware compass. However, an emulated one that is extrapolated from GPS movement is available in GPSJinny.

I was under the impression that no handset including its inferior cousine N97 has the hardware for Compass, they use the GPS capability for Compass Application

Plenty of handsets have hardware compass, but N900 doesn't. Not sure about N97, I'd imagine that it has one.

N97 does have one. N900 doesn't, as I have posted. An API is provided by GPS subsystem that deduces orientation from movement. GPSJinny has such an implementation, along with other cool features like per-satellite signal, logging, speed, graphs, etc.
