The instruction sets are different, yes. This is resolved via the build server which will compile both architectures and ease the process of cross compiling for the developer.

Since the APIs are the same, there shouldn't be anything (barring hardware specific stuff) that prevents a developer from targeting all MeeGo devices regardless of the CPU. It effectively becomes just another checkbox.
