My guess is that it isn't an ActiveX DLL since that would defeat the purpose of being reg-free...
Only Olaf can answer that definitively - DirectCOM.dll is closed source. But you're right about it not being an ActiveX DLL, it's a standard DLL with the following magic function that instantiates and returns an object created from a class in an ActiveX DLL:
Code:
Private Declare Function GetInstanceEx Lib "DirectCOM" (spFName As Long, spClassName As Long, Optional ByVal UseAlteredSearchPath As Boolean = True) As Object
