Yes. Well, there's a bit of a fine distinction between being managed and
being part of the session. The application could conceivably receive a
'quit' message before the 'open' message, but that would never actually
happen in the current implementation and doesn't make a lot of sense
anyway. I think you're probably right in that for all practical purposes
'open' is the time to consider the application managed.
