The only way to programmatically determine whether the Dock is hidden is to check to see whether it is hideable, and to check whether the mouse pointer is in the zone.

Like for instance:

script dockIsShowing
set fudge to 10 -- allowance for hidden Dock
set screenWithMenu to current application's NSScreen's screens()'s objectAtIndex_(0)
set {x1, y1} to (screenWithMenu's visibleFrame()'s |size|()) as list
set {x2, y2} to (screenWithMenu's frame()'s |size|()) as list
if (x2 - x1) > fudge or (y2 - y1) > (22 + fudge) then -- 22 is standard menubar height
return true
end if
set {x3, y3} to current application's NSEvent's mouseLocation() as list
if (x3 > x1) or (y3 > y1) then -- mouse is beyond visible frame
return true
end if
return false
end script

tell application "ASObjC Runner" to set theResult to run the script {dockIsShowing} with result returned
