Yes, you need the filter driver.

Ah, now I understand you better. In order to install the filter
driver, you have to have the kernel driver and dll installed
first. We provide the installer for you with the name
libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.5.0.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/1.2.5.0/

The source codes are there. It used libwdi.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/1.2.5.0/
libusb-win32-src-1.2.5.0.zip
libwdi wiki is here:

Your application need to autorun in order to be able to catch
the insertion of the device when the user plugs in the MTP
device, that is why I suggest a Windows service.

But please remember, we would not recommend this use cases.
So you are kind of on your own if some MTP device does not
like the filter and causes BSOD...
