The gazebo_ros_api_plugin is a SystemPlugin. The gazebo plugin tutorial says the following about SystemPlugin's:
The System plugin is specified on the command line, and loads first during a Gazebo startup. This plugin gives the user control over the startup process.
I'm not completely familiar with the architecture, but I believe it needs to be a SystemPlugin in order to connect with ROS during startup. Thus it needs to be specified on the command-line. I believe the scripts called by launch files take care of this.
Does this answer your question?
