Many Android(TM) applications will run on Jolla devices unchanged (Android is a trademark of Google Inc.). If you want to take advantage of all UI and other features of Sailfish OS and make yourapplications fast, you can port your applications to native QT/QML. There are extensive guides available on how to do that.
That's vague but could mean native support for Android apps similar to how BB PlayBook did it, only hopefully much more usable.

Then again, it could also mean that they hope Qt will be more used within Android allowing it to ease the transition between platforms using a single coding but releasing for multi platforms. App developers would go for this as it saves them money from programming three or four seperate apps.
