Not quite so -- dssi-vst presents itself as a single plugin library containing multiple plugins, each of which has a standard DSSI name string. The plugins in the library correspond to the VSTs found on the disk, and their names match the VST library names. So to select a VST plugin (say myvst.dll) through dssi-vst, you need to tell your host to load the plugin that has name "myvst.dll" from library "dssi-vst.so". This is just the same as the way you would select any other DSSI plugin that appears in the same library as other plugins. It should be possible in any DSSI host. If the host makes, for example, a menu of all available plugins to select from, then all of the VSTs should appear in it as separate plugins. (n.b. I haven't actually tried using dssi-vst in Ingen or Jost.)
