Supposedly?
You bet it's corrosive!
I'd even neutralize with baking soda after I rinsed it off.
As for the yard... You will have to dig up a few inches of the dirt, as the calcium has contaminated the soil and even just re-seeding will not work.
It sure is corrosive, but it's not battery acid--it's a mild base. An aqueous solution such as used in our tires has a pH between 8 and 9, so I am guessing that baking soda (definitely what you use to neutralize battery and other acids) is either useless or making things worse. Lots of water is the key to dealing with both metal corrosion and plant toxicity. CaCl is preferred in road salting to sodium chloride because it is less toxic to plants, but in high enough concentrations it will kill grass or anything else. Rain, irrigation, or a garden hose is your friend here.
