No, the Dock is an LSUIElement application. The LSUIElement means that it has no menu bar, and does not appear in the Dock. A daemon is a long-lived BSD-level background process which does not make a connection to the window server. An agent is (I think!) a daemon that gets linked to a user's login session and is automatically started and stopped by launchd.
