There is no requirement that all windows modules must be run via the script module.
Just as the *nix modules are written in Python, the Windows modules are written in powershell. I'm not sure if you are familiar with how the Python modules work, but they are shipped to the remote node and executed. This is the same way as the Windows powershell modules. The only difference is that windows modules must contain both a ps1 (powershell) file and a py (Python) file. The py files contains the docs for the module. I may have misunderstood what you meant, but written the way you mention, it doesn't sound correct.
