I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say the event is
passed from the plugin to the "core". Let me describe the process from
my understanding and tell me if it is flawed or if we don't have the
same vocabulary.

In this patch the Manage function from the display plugin pulls events
from the Java code using the JNI, the event is passed to the core
using vout_display_SendEvent*().
This event is handled by the core in VoutDisplayEvent() and afterwards
it is passed again to the display plugin using vout_display_Control()
(from vout_ManageDisplay).
The Control function of the display plugin then passes the event to
the window plugin using vout_window_Set*().
