This may be dependant on the distribution, but in TeX Live, Plain-based formats
for any engine but TeX82 all are based on etex.src, which expands on plain.tex
and in particular, overrides its loading of hyphenation patterns and implements
an extended scheme for language loading and switching, using language.def.

For LuaTeX, a modified version of etex.src is used, and a specific
language.def.lua file is generated with language.def (and language.dat(.lua)),
so patterns are dynamically loaded (but languages are still statically
allocated), just as with latex/babel.
