I assume you're referring to buttons that bring up context menus, etc in your app and you're loading your application on to the device directly rather than using the Mirror API.

Can it have buttons like a "standard" Android app? It's just Android so you can do whatever you want. At I/O 2013 there was a demo of running a regular Android app on Glass. A bluetooth keyboard was used to send input.

Should it have buttons like a "standard" Android app? The answer is probably no, because Glass provides a somewhat different interaction paradigm than a phone.
