It worked because the IAC connects you to something outside of BBox (i.e. hooking to external things & applications), whereas the plugins are being loaded and run by BBox itself, internally. For instance, the built-in DLS is essentially a plugin too, if you hadn't considered that (evident by the fact that you can now change its sound source with the Plugin interface in BBox akin to any other Plugin),
It may be confusing you that many VSTi Plugins also come with their own "Standalone" applications, like SampleTank and sforzando. Not the same thing.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
