A heuristic I use is to check if the window is visible. It's not
perfect but good enough for my use (which includes previewing LaTeX
fragments):
(defun my/latex-preview-maybe ()
(when (window-live-p (get-buffer-window (current-buffer)))
(org-latex-preview 'buffer)
(org-latex-preview-auto-mode 1)))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'my/latex-preview-maybe)
