The app doesn't use the normal data tunnel through bis/bes.. It uses the data traffic path of your native network and does not go through the bb servers per se.. So the APN is a couple of settings which allow the handset to use the data stream provided by the network..
Some apps like this are pretty data intensive and so I would advise you to check on the charges (if there are any) with your provider..
