MyContacts has at least three different ways to dial out using GV. Setting up call options there does not require the method to be logged in. For example, you could select TOR to dial out and TOR was not connected or not even installed, but that option was there in MyContacts.

I think there was one option in MyContacts in which the app dials out to your GV number, then sends DTMF tones to begin dialling out. This method quite naturally does not require "logging in".
(I might be confusing the app that has this feature - it might have been in vicar. )
