App signing and app sandboxing are two different things.
A signed app includes a cryptographic claim of its author's identity.
A sandboxed app has additional restrictions enforced by the OS.
Sandboxed apps are signed, but signed apps are not necessarily sandboxed.
The App Stores require sandboxing. iOS also requires sandboxing for all apps, whether or not they are distributed by an App Store.
OS X does not require sandboxing. For apps that are not sandboxed, traditional file access is unchanged. Mountain Lion's Gatekeeper can be configured to require signed apps, but it does not enforce sandboxing.
