Cygstart is not needed in this case. Explorer can be launched directly.
This works from cmd.exe and from any cygwin shell:
explorer .
You are right, this is equivalent in this specific case.
But cygstart can also open Cygwin-style directories, explorer can't:
cygstart ~
cygstart /etc
cygstart dir1/dir2
Of course, in these cases cygstart is actually more convenient than:
explorer "$(cygpath -w ~)"
explorer "$(cygpath -w /etc)"
explorer "$(cygpath -w dir1/dir2)"
