If your openStack handler is only supposed to apply to your main stack, then
place the openStack handler in the script of the *first card* of your main
stack (this goes for any initialization handlers since they are only called
when the first card is opened).  Any subsequent opening/closing of stacks
will not trigger the init handler/s.

If your openStack handler must apply to any substacks of your main stack,
you can do as you suggest above: check the stack's name, for development
mode, etc.
