Is there a way, as soon as a .dmg is mounted, without any user-action the contained .app launches, just like windows has autorun.ini?

4Running apps from a DMG is bad practice, I would suggest. It doesn't offer any advantages, and at best means that the app 'disappears' if the dmg is unmounted, e.g. after reboot.– benwiggyCommented Jun 22, 2022 at 11:34

No.
This in its most general application would be an egregious security risk. There is a provision to display a license prompt at mount time, however.
btw, Windows auto-run [as opposed to auto-play] has been disabled for many years [since Windows 7] for similar reasons.
