Can you install rogue apps (i.e. not from apple's store) without jailbreaking the device?

Not using any installation mechanism provided by Apple. If you want to crack open the phone and begin trying to pin out the storage controller: then maybe.

The installer is a piece of software made by Apple, to install things that meet certain criteria(ie signed packages). It's not that you can't technically "install" other things, but there doesn't exist a mechanism to do so.

Yes, but they will still have to be signed by an enterprise or developer certificate.
