Nothing ever "appears" on the battlefield without being put there. If an effect creates tokens, that effect will include put in its phrasing. Actually, you could have answered this question by just reading Lingering Souls .

An object doesn't have to move away from some other zone in order to count as "entering" the battlefield. It doesn't matter whether you put it onto the battlefield from another game zone or from nowhere at all, it still entered.

As has been said nothing just "appears" in play all tokens enter the battlefield and thusly trigger any ETB abilities. Furthermore they will activate any Morbid or death/LTB abilities as well since they die and got to the rave before they cease to exist. Tokens can only exist on the battlefield. If something moves it to another zone then they "pop"
