Not familiar with Apple APIs. Is that supposed to mean that they plan to eventually open up the API so that other browsers could implement it, or no?

No so the window.Payment[1] isn't in the right place yet—according to Apple—to be ready for their use. You can read more in [2]. So eventually ApplePay.js would (I presume based on their language) disappear to some extent and all browsers could use the Payments API and Apple wouldn't need their own custom solution.
