I don't really get what you mean by "automatically starting up like the VSfilter". Note that vsfilter.dll is essentially three programs in one file:
1.) It's a DirectShow filter (indicated by the green arrow showing up in the task bar)
2.) It's an AviSynth plug-in
3.) It's a VirtualDub plug-in

To use it as an AviSynth plug-in you can either copy the vsfilter.dll file to e.g. "C:\program files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\" OR load it manually via e.g. "LoadPlugin("C:\filters\vsfilter.dll")". Then enter "TextSub("subtitles.ass")" in your script to load a subtitle file. The green arrow in the task bar does NOT appear when using it in this way.
The difference to C-Plugins like assrender.dll is that they will not load automatically when put into the "C:\program files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\" folder. You alway have to load them via "LoadCPlugin("C:\assrender.dll")".
