No, Apple does not allow JIT. It does not dictate language use.

I'm using LuaJIT on iOS just fine, and experienced no restrictions from Apple about using it.
LuaJIT for iOS, confusingly, does not do JITing. Normal apps on iOS are unable to mark pages as executable, so it's impossible to JIT; it's not just an app store review-enforces restriction.
Alas, you are right and I have learned something new today. It seems that Safari is the only JIT'able process we developers can gain access to ..
