A graphics program can still accept commands via stdio, or some other
rpc channel.

But, I think maybe I'm misunderstanding what the original problem was.

I'm just trying to describe that it's possible to decouple a graphics
component from a controlling gui.

On X11 you can embed a graphics widget in another application, using for
instance the xembed protocol, and maybe you could do something similar
on android.

But if its complicated to port the vnc graphics widget there is no
benefit to the approach,
