That's pretty much it. In a plugin, the natural place for the 
openStack handler is in the stack script, and if you start using the 
plugin stack, you need to put a little extra logic into the openStack 
handler to make sure it doesn't run every time any stack is opened 
(because it's going to be in the message path, if you start using 
it). Putting the library code in a button instead sidesteps the whole 
issue.

Also, it's a little easier to manage multiple libraries this way. You 
can add buttons to your plugin to hold various libraries, and insert 
them or not as you prefer, in a very simple way.
