JavaFX 2.0 :: Native Packaging And Preloader

When reading RT-38432 I see that Danno mentions the possibility to use:
 
com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication(YourMainClass.class, Preloader.class, args);
 
I've never used the javafx-packager and have always used the above instead.  However, I assumed I was missing out on some optimization related to example 9-5 and example 9-6 of Deploying JavaFX Applications: Preloaders | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation.  I always assumed the supported packaging:
 
1) Loads only the JARs / resources needed to launch the Preloader.
2) Launches the Preloader.
3) Loads all other application JARs / resources.
4) Launches the application.
 
Now I'm thinking that's only the case for Web Start deployments.  For standalone deployments is it the same as a normal Java application where all of the application JARs are included as part of the classpath?
