This is Plain XeTeX macro, if you load fontspec, instead using that you
should have

\newfontfamily\myfont[Script=Arabic]{KacstFarsi}

And if you do not like using fontspec, then you need to have

\font\myfont="KacstFarsi:script=arab" at 18pt

Yes, this is the way you should do it when using fontspec.
