I don't understand what you mean by this may be due to Typescript allowing for a external header-like file while Flow requires inline types. Flow supports external declaration files. I use them all the time for 3rd party modules.

You're right, this has been added recently and there's also now a community effort around 3rd party modules. [1] Though it looks like it didn't become active until after at least 03/2016 [2]. I mention this only because TypeScript has been active in this area since 10/2012 [3], which is in-line with the original intent of my comment - that Flow is over 2 years (closer to 3.5 years) behind in building this out.
