I haven't figured out any other way to avoid the intermediate step. As I understand it, when you open the acsm file it is communicating back to the ebookstore server to download your book and then applies the DRM encryption specific to your Adobe account.

Cheers
Go to Reader Library > Preferences in the menu and uncheck the box that says "Launch Reader Library when Reader device is connected".
