Yes, you should have the ensure parameter in there:
service { 'myservice':
ensure => running,
start => '/root/myinit_script.sh',
}
Since you're using a custom start script, you may need to also specify custom
status and restart scripts so that puppet can better control the process if the
httpd config file ever changes and you want the service to restart
automatically.
