I think you can check if status line is being drawn for current window in your generator function. TJ will probably know exactly how to do that or if there is better way. Only reason I am saying this is because I draw different status line for various filetypes and I have such conditional in may generator function:

  if ft ~= 'man' and (bufhidden ~= '' or bufhidden == 'wipe' or buftype == 'nofile') then
    return {
      -- 'short' status line here
    }
  end

I found a way to check if the current window is focused or not:

  if win.win_id ~= vim.api.nvim_get_current_win() then
    --- not active
  else
    --- active
  end

the variable win is passed to every segment function by express_line
