Yes, 3 working days in advance but probably 4 is safest as it says 'around 3'.
You can register at Wanchai Immigration(in advance) or at the ferry terminals in HK or Macau, but these are once you've already entered... presumably for your next trip.
You don't need a passport but if you're white they may just assume you need a passport without really checking your ID. The dude did not look at mine long enough to read it properly I would guess.
Probably an "I have a Permanent HK ID card so I don't need a passport" or an "I have a HKID with R on it so I don't need my passport" would make them actually check and do it properly.
You may enter Macau using your Permanent HKID card (or card with Right to Land or Unconditional stay) at any time, without registering in advance.
However, if you wish to use an e-channel to enter Macau with a Permanent HKID card (rather than using a manned immigration desk) then you must register in advance.
