SWTBot works in a way which is similar to what a human being does. If you search for a view which is not open SWTBot throws a WidgetNotFoundException, which is a right failure, since the view is not really open, although it exists.
If SWTBot is not throwing a WidgetNotFoundException when a view is not open, there's probably a bug. So what you're doing is the right thing, activate the view in whatever way you find convinient -- invoke API directly or click through the menus.
