It has to be some profile or description of an idealized color space. It
absolutely doesn't have to be an ICC profile (as Lightroom, Camera Raw and
Aperture do this without such ICC profiles).
You still have to go from scene to output referred, that's the point of
using a Raw converter to express how you want the image to appear on some
device (first your display, then some print).
See Karl Lang's piece on rendering:

Scene referred colorimetrically defined color is the only accurate color we
can discuss and it looks butt ugly when output. Output referred imagery
isn't necessarily (well it isn't at all) accurate but its either pleasing or
gives the impression of matching something or some color appearance you wish
to express on some output device.
