How does the system recognize that it's Rexx and not some other language?

Excellent question. Because (a) it has a file extension associated with
rexx.exe, or (b) because you said "rexx <fn>".

(a) relies on a distinguished part of the namespace, and as
such is akin to invoking an EXEC from the distinguished
DDNAME SYSEXEC.

(b) relies on a distinctive calling sequence, and as such is
akin to invoking an EXEC via the Rexx API.

Neither of these requires a leading language indicator in z/OS.
In situations where the context does not so indicate the language,
(as from SYSPROC in TSO/E, or from PATH in z/OS Unix), a leading
indicator of the language is generally required.
