To rephrase the other responses, the client-defined setting has no inherent
relationship to the concept of a PostgreSQL session.  How the client uses
that setting is internal to the client and whatever abstraction(s) it
provides the programmer.

So far as the server is concerned it is always auto (implicit) begin, and
also auto (implicit) commit - absent receiving a BEGIN SQL Command in which
case it disables implicit commit and (more or less) waits for a COMMIT or
ROLLBACK before ending the transaction that it implicitly started.
