Is passion fruit a perennial
Yes. Some varieties are more hearty than others. Some are more cold hearty and can stay green all Winter, unless it is an extended hard freeze. Then they may die back, but come back vigorously in the Spring.

is it native to Louisiana?
It is. Some varieties are "more native" than others, meaning it is the type that has always grown in the area. Those types are the ideal ones because they are more adapted to your specific area. You can still plant a variety that is a hybrid or from another area in the country, it just may not be as well adapted.
The LNSP has a list of nurseries/growers on their site. You can can check them out and see the variety of passion vines they offer. I looked yesterday and none of them have any for sale right now, but they do show them on their plant lists.

The ones I find in the wild and grow don't like the cold AT ALL. The green dies back to the root and they dont start sprouting back until april-may. The roots are almost a rhizome like thick tubers. Not a 100% certain but I'm pretty sure they are native. I think the indian's thought eating the fruit gave them wood. But then again it seems like the indians thought most everything was an aphrodisiac.
