Another way of showing a window on a document that was opened or created without a window is to to tell the document to make a window:

tell application "InDesign CS"
     set myDoc to open "path to my file" without showing window
     -- OR
     set myDoc to make document with properties {showing window:false}

-- Do stuff

tell myDoc to make window
end tell

Also this ability to open/make documents without a window is not limited to AppleScript. You can do the same thing from VB or JavaScript.
