I don't know how the LS 'plugin' integrates in Ardour3, but things don't have to be as you describe. Even if something is loaded from an .so and thus runs in the host's process, that does not imply that it has to use the host's audio infrastucture, or anything else provided by the host. As an example, I have a collection of Jack apps (Ambdec, Jconvolver, Jkmeter, and some others that I've not (yet) released as standalone apps) that are implemented as Python classes. You can use them in Python scripts, or interactively as I often do. Like all C/C++ extensions for Python they are just an .so that gets loaded by an 'import' statement, and then you create as many instances as you need. So technically these are plugins. But each of them is a separte Jack client, there is no common audio infrastructure apart from Jack. Those that do have a GUI are also a separate X11 client each.
