ASCOM and ST4

A newbie question.
If your EQ6 mount is setup and connected via USB shoestring cable to ASCOM, and you use PHD for guiding with a seperate guide scope and camera, do you need the ST4 port on the guide camera connected to the guide port on the mount at all ?

It's just that I'm a little confused as to how the guide commands get to the mount. Are they via the ASCOM cable connection or via the ST4 port on the camera ?

Thanks for any advice here.
