The description for "FLASK_APP not set" seems misleading and fuzzy:

(nothing)
The file wsgi.py is imported, automatically detecting an app (app). This provides an easy way to create an app from a factory with extra arguments.

The actual behaviour when FLASK_APP is not set is importing the name app or wsgi not only wsgi.py, and it's unrelated with factory arguments.
