The dock becomes visible only if you go with the pointer in the dock 
location, it does not become visible at its will, only at your will ;-) 
If you start applications via an icon on the desktop or recent items, 
or if you use a whatever AppLauncher the dock does not show up because 
of those operations: only if you go with the pointer on the side he is 
hiding. If you never go there (the last two pixels of the screen) it 
will never show up.

I might be misinterpreting the question: the Finder is supposed to be 
running whatever the dock is doing: visible or hidden. If you want to 
get to the Finder, say to open a Finder windows, it is enough to click 
on any open area of the desktop: the Finder becomes the active 
application and you can issue - say - a Command-n to get a Finder 
window. No need to click on the dock icon for that.
We were discussing about the Dock which is not the same as the Finder.
