I agree. Particularly if the primary actions are made to look like buttons while the secondary actions look like links, I would just mark them up as buttons and links.
Also if possible, I would suggest making the reading and tabbing order start with the primary actions and then go through the secondary actions--if that makes sense to do with the user interface.

If using aria roles to achieve the semantics you will need to be sure to make the functionality match the role. Buttons work with space bar and enter/return and links just work with enter/return.
