That's how it works!
Will that work... why will it work?
It works because a Mac Application Bundle is really just a directory with
everything it needs to run. I've even seen Mac Applications which
contains small UNIX derived executables which it forks out as needed.
As for the file associations that's taken care of by the OS.
Underneath Mac OS is pretty cool UNIX environment.
BTW - You probably won't need your installer for Mac OS. It not the
typical way which users are expecting to receive applications.
