Maybe it's just me but I am not sure if this question makes a whole lot of sense.
AppleScript runs in process so a multitude of applications could launch your app by generating and dispatching the appropriate AppleEvent.
Or do you want to ascertain if the app was launched by AppleScript Editor.app?
Is the app to be scripted by users?
In that case it might be better to make your app scriptable and send it an explicit event to request batch mode.
