Judging from the markings, that is a turn lane shared by both directions. You cannot legally use it to pass a car in the main driving lane, you can only use it to make a left turn. Lanes of this type are nicknamed "suicide lanes", because of the possibility that vehicles going in opposite

For the ‘dashed line’ center turn lanes: what you do makes sense to me too. I have used center_turn_lane=yes in the past, but that is not documented and I wouldn’t encourage it. This way it fits nicely into the lanes schema. The turn lanes plugin seems to support this nicely:

Center lane is a left turn only lane. If the space to the side of the solid white lines is a bike lane, then this street may have be subject to a “road diet” in which a 4 lane street is reduced to two travel lanes, a turn lane, and two bike lanes. Otherwise the street was constructed in that
