The other day, I installed Outlook 2013 at home and it started displaying avatars for my contacts and showing if they are online in Skype.
I did not install any add-in or change any settings in either program to get that functionality. At work, I also use Skype and Outlook 2013, but I don't get the same behavior.
What controls this behavior and how can I enable/disable it?

It is controlled solely by Skype for Business for Outlook add-on.

To see presence lights in Outlook:
You must install the Skype for Business for Outlook add-on, and the user with which you’re logged in on Outlook must have the Skype SIP address in his list of E-Mail addresses.

In Outlook you have option to show online status and photographs.
Go to --> File --> Options. New window will open. Click on Contacts on the left hand side. To disable "Online Presence Indicator" un-tick Display online status next to name. If you want to enable it - just tick that box. You can do the same for photos but that would require Outlook restart.

2That option is checked and greyed out in my client at work, but I don't get the indicator here. – Der Hochstapler – 2014-06-18T12:54:18.567
I've tested it and it works for me. – Chris – 2014-06-18T13:10:30.720
