I can't comment the behaviour of what you call the "standard procedure"
for your desktop environment LXDE on what distro ever. However, what has
got the autostart option of the window manager to do with it?

What window manager are you using?

Assuming it should be openbox (by LXDE upstream the recommended window
manager), then autostart has nothing to do with desktop files at all.

I'm not using a desktop environment, but I'm using openbox without a
desktop environment. Openbox has got a file for autostart, it does not
care about a directory such as .config/autostart/.

Archlinux:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat .config/openbox/autostart 
~/.customization/edit-menu-app-version-entries.sh ~/.config/fbpanel/pre-summery &
(sleep 1 && feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/wallpaper_pre-summery/walpaper_pre-summery-brightness100-contrast-16.png) &
(sleep 1 && lxpanel --profile pre-summery) &
(sleep 1 && fbpanel --profile pre-summery) &
(sleep 1 && parcellite -n) &

Ubuntu:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /mnt/moonstudio/home/weremouse/.config/openbox/autostart 
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=""
(sleep 1 && feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/moonstudio_wallpaper_1.png) &
parcellite -n &
(sleep 1 && lxpanel) &
(sleep 1 && fbpanel) &
(sleep 1 && xscreensaver -nos) &

On Ubuntu the openbox autostart conflicts with xdg, so I cleared
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS on top of the autostart file.
