It is tied to the same machines as iTunes authorizations.
No, it is not. Mac App Store auths are separate from iTunes auths for content.
A news report I read earlier today on one Mac site said Lion will be tied to iTunes auths.
That would be a lot of weird overhead for Apple, since the ordering and delivery would be through the App Store, not iTunes, which are - as Gareth noted - separate.
Not having seen the article you did, i suspect that the author didn't appreciate that App Store and iTunes account authorizations are different.
