For most simple apps yes, I think the .app itself is all that's needed. Bigger more complex apps like Office X, Photoshop need other supporting files.
these "other" files where would they be located?
user's library
system library
system folder?

one quick side note: you can run into problems if you try to email or IM someone a .app file. even if you burn it to cd. sometimes it will seperate the package and it won't run. the best way to transfer a .app file is to simply compress it into a Stuffit file. it will unstuff intact and be usable. just a tip.
