So it seems that the new Apps service is something like hosted services that wordpress.com etc provide, right?
Since there is no FTP access etc, this would mean no custom themes, plugins etc for all the web applications, would it?

The DreamhostApps seems to use a system based on the One-Click install system that has been available for their customers for some time now. The One-Click installs in Easy mode (that Apps appears to be using) are based on a common core, so you can't "do" custom themes, plugins, etc. The Advanced One-Clicks install the scripts completely in your userspace using databases that you direct them to use. You'd require a hosting account to access the Advanced version.
