I don't see any mention of these "AppCoins" being a decentralized crypto-currency. It's kind of interesting that you assumed that. I did too. It shows how our perspectives have been changed by Bitcoin's existence.
If you google "AppCoin" ~90% of results are decentralized crypto-currency related. That's also the context that Naval and Fred Wilson have used it in. It's a bit weird to see it used in another context.
The Appcoin that google brings up seems to be unrelated to assemblymade.com. e.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475160.0 , so who knows how "app coins" from assemblymade actually work. I would guess it isn't a decentralised cryptocurrency, just a token to be used on the site.
