I don't believe so: presumably the URL could just as easily be reached without using the application which constructs it -- the "interface" is the HTTP request to the external site and the Javascript API. As such, the map is generally accessible without charge (or whatever the current wording is) and it doesn't fall foul of Section 10 of the Maps Terms. The only issue is whether the browser object can cope with the Javascript necessary for the map. If an automatic creation of a map URL is prohibited, it also bars a web application from constructing a URL to show in an iframe -- the local app is essentially doing the same thing, and local applications are now allowed.
