Or does it always start full screen?

There is no way to start an application in a snapped view. This is deliberate decision to put the user in control of their Window layout. Let’s assume the user has some app already snapped but launching a new app seeminly overrides the snapped app and therefore suspends it. That might have a negative effect on the user’s experience.
On the flip side, there is the ability to programmatically attempt an unsnap – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.viewmanagement.applicationview.tryunsnap.aspx.
If there’s a compelling reason of why you would want this capability, I know the team is willing to listen.
