IBO never calls the StartTransaction implicitly, except when you are using
cached updates and you call the ApplyUpdates method for a transaction.

IBO automatically acquires a transaction handle from the server and this has
nothing to do with calling the StartTransaction method.

One is physical and the other is explicit.
