Since the current nm-applet.desktop has the clause NoShowIn that stops nm-applet from running and displaying in the X11 system tray of budgie-desktop, the upstream maintainer uses the separate autostart file to force nm-applet to run for the budgie-desktop session.
My understanding this is a temporary measure anyway since they are going to drop/deprecate the use of nm-applet to display network connection information and will be in the future (date unknown) writing a dedicated network manager applet and therefore will not need the current autostart file.
