no, if you use the --eval option Octave will just parse the string you pass
as if it were written at the Octave prompt, so "2.0" will be recognized as a 
real
number and will be set as the value of the first input parameter of the 
function "script (ARG)" defined in the file "script.m" therefore

octave -qf --eval "script (2.0)"

is equivalent to 

$ octave -qf
> script (2.0)

there is no need to use "argv" if you do it like this
