Beautiful identity: $\sum_{k=m}^n (-1)^{k-m} \binom{k}{m} \binom{n}{k} = \delta_{mn}$
This follows easily from the Multinomial Theorem, I believe.
$$ 1 = 1^n = (1 - x + x)^n$$ $$ = \sum_{a+b+c=n} {n \choose a,b,c} 1^a \cdot (-x)^b \cdot x^c$$ $$ = \sum_{m=0}^{n} \sum_{k=m}^{n} {n \choose m,k-m,n-k} 1^{m} \cdot (-x)^{k-m} \cdot x^{n-k} $$ $$ = \sum_{m=0}^{n} \left[ \sum_{k=m}^{n} (-1)^{k-m} {k \choose m}{n \choose k} \right] x^{n-m}$$
Comparing coefficients now gives the result immediately.
The vector space of polynomials in one variable has two bases $\{1, x, x^2, ... \}$ and $\{1, (x+1), (x+1)^2, ... \}$ and I believe what you've written down is equivalent to the statement that the change-of-basis matrices between these two bases multiply to the identity.
I am still thinking about an inclusion-exclusion argument.
Here's another way to look at Aryabhata's proof: the sum counts all the partitions of $[n]$ into three sets $A,B,C$ satisfying $|C|=m$, weighted according to $(-1)^{|A|}$. The identity just says that if $n \neq m$, the number of partitions with $|A|$ even is the same as those with $|A|$ odd.
The latter fact is proved by the following sign-changing involution: pick the first element which is not in $C$ (there must be one since $n \neq m$), and flip it from $A$ to $B$ or vice versa.
