Nope, session in the macro context is not the session object itself,
but session.data. And since session.data is an untyped hopobject, you
don't have to implement getMacroHandler() in order to use deep macros
on it:

    session.data.foo = { bar: 123 };

can be accessed from skins via:

   <% session.data.foo %>

hope that helps,
