Raster and RasterArray are upside-down compared to most raster formats. 
That is, the first row in the matrix is the bottom row. The row number 
is supposed to match the y-axis of the coordinate system (which is 0 at 
the bottom and increases upward). The following does what you want:

test = Reverse[IdentityMatrix[4]];
{numRows, numColumns} = Dimensions[test];
Show[
   Graphics[
     RasterArray[
       Table[
         If[
           test[[i, j]] > 0,
           RGBColor[1, 0, 0],
           RGBColor[0, 1, 0]
           ],
         {i, 1, numRows}, {j, 1, numColumns}
         ]
       ]
     ]
   ]
