In the case of this specific post, they seem to be using "native" to mean "has features that require access to native OS APIs, and which cannot exist purely within the HTML5 abstract machine."

There's probably a better term for this. "Native-enabled", perhaps? "Unsandboxed"?

Sandbox is a completely different idea. Both native and web apps can have sandboxes (or not have them).
