I think it comes down to what engine is running the script.  If you
run a script in the ExtendScript Toolkit, and the script begins with
something like

#target "InDesign"

the ESTK engine will automatically start InDesign.  I'm not sure if
other possible JavaScript/ExtendScript engines will do that.
