As you say, there is no way for an app to cause a transition to 
IMAVRequested, the user has to initiate the session from iChat.

If your app is not document based, the user can request a session by 
selecting your app in the "Share a file via
iChat Theater" file requester (or by dragging your app's icon to the 
video window).

<email_removed> is a better list for iChat Theater 
questions, by the way.
