I am fairly sure this is alluding to dialer watch.

Dialer watch does not require a dialer list or definition of interesting
traffic to bring up the circuit.

In this instance the existence of the dialer list you mention is extraneous.
If you don't define a dialer list, traffic won't bring up the link by
default.

Unless you use dialer watch.
