I think I understand your question, but please feel free to expand or clarify if I'm off-base.
Software Center is simply a user portal showing items that the IT Admin has deployed to a device or user. Deployments are listed if they are detected as "applicable". For software updates, including third-party updates, the update includes detection rules that determine whether or not the update is applicable. Similarly, Applications include detection methods that determine applicability. If a deployed update or Application is not applicable, it won't be shown at all in Software Center.
The user can always go into Software Center and initiate deployments listed there at their convenience. If the IT admin has configured a deployment as Required, then the ConfigMgr agent will automatically enforce the deployment at the deadline time specified for that deployment without any user intervention.
