Possibly.  Are you finding you can access the scripts of objects in your 
standalone after building them with the password option?

If so, I would suggest filing a bug report on that.

Many apps have binary object files stored outside of the executable.  I 
can't imagine Apple wouldn't single out LiveCode for prohibition on this.

The only prohibition I'm aware of is against any app that downloads 
executable code not present with the app bundle when reviewed.  The 
concern there seems legitimate, and not at all specific to LiveCode: 
they just want to make sure they don't review an app that claims to do 
one thing and later find its downloading code to do something entirely 
different.

Stacks can be moved in both directions:  set a stack's mainstack to the 
name of some other stack and it becomes a substack of that other stack.
