No, you cannot pair a braille display whilst VoiceOver is not running. Braille displays must be paired through the VoiceOver menu, which can only be accessed when VO is running. After a braille display is paired, you can see its status in the Bluetooth menu, and you can reconnect it in the Bluetooth menu, but it will only initially appear in the braille menu in the VoiceOver menu before it is initially paired.
