No, you're wrong. "AfterCreate" is a virtual method of TfpgForm which is 
overwritten by the designer. It uses fcl-passrc to parse the code and 
recreates code again. No LCL involved in that process anywhere.

Ahm... in the LCL's fpGUI widget set the usual resource system of 
Lazarus is used already. But a LCL-fpgui application <> pure fpgui 
application (for the second one it's unimportant whether you use Lazarus 
as "source editor" or not).
