This is the reason I think the application does > not have to be from cygwin package. The application has to be a Cygwin *program* to understand POSIX paths, but not necessarily a Cygwin package. However, even if the gvim you've installed is not a Cygwin program, it may simply serve as a shell around the existing vim installation (and pass the paths to vim unchanged), so if the vim it picks up is the one that comes with Cygwin, it will understand POSIX paths.
