Not true. The text box will appear if the Gwibber service is running.
If the user configures Gwibber to start the service on login (and
if I remember correctly this is checked by default), the text field
will always be there and work regardless if he clicked on the Gwibber
entry in the Messaging Menu or not.

According to the specification, this is not supposed to happen.

accounts you have set up in Empathy supports that status,
regardless of whether Empathy is currently running."
