Of course.

This is a function the window manager (i. e. XFCE 4) will have
to do.

Maybe you can do a "trick" to not have a terminal window. How about
running the MATLAB program from a kind of "Start:" dialog. I know it
existed in XFCE 3. Create an icon for it, and as the command line,
enter the MATLAB starting command.

Or does MATLAB explicitlely require to run from out of a terminal
session?

Check for some kind of "minimize after start" option in XFCE 4.
