I ask because a lot of electronics make connection to ground to complete the circuit. Maybe a ground wire from battery to jump point?

I'm a EE, so I understand what you are asking.
when I am jump starting -- it's to the battery terminals -- or to the battery terminal wires.
when I am bypassing the battery -- the battery is physically unconnected to the car.
I.e. I remove the connections and connect directly to the battery terminal wires.
