Yes, that is what I use to bring an app to the front. You don't need to open
a document, just point it to the app. Here's an example from OS X:

tell application "Finder"
  open file "Enterprise:users:kenray:desktop:applications:MyApp"
end tell

Note this also works with the ".app" extension as well.
