foo-minor-mode is just a function, so it is called when hook executes. Any other modes 
that are turned on via a single function call will also "work".

However note that this won't work for your use-case (from previous thread) - 
hook is called both when mode is turned on, and when it is turned off. So in 
your code snippet foo-minor-mode will be turned on when emacs-lisp-mode is 
turned off, which is probably not something you would want.
