Not really. TWAIN also has the DataSource, the backend driver, a
DataSourceManager multiplexing between the sources and the
applications, and the frontend applications. The architecture is
mostly the same. And yes, the data sources can be user interfae-
less.

Please note that I wrote a SANE backend, frontend as wel as TWAIN
data sources and a TWAIN application.
