You're correct; these aren't APKs. I saw the lead dev present the project at a meetup and it appears that they're targeting games and apps developed using the Android NDK rather than standard Android Java apps.

How much of the Android API can you access from the NDK? My understanding is that it's for OpenGL and building regular apps isn't something you want to do.

Not much. The presentation I saw positioned Go as an alternative to C++, not Java.
