Yes, this is a limitation with the Windows Store. It is not generally good at telling you about what processor architectures are supported by an app, other than the processor in the machine you are actually using right now. If you can get to the Windows Store web site (here) you'll see a full list of the processors and devices supported, but the Store app itself does not always give the whole story.

I think that Microsoft's Store listing is getting muddled because the Windows 8.x versions of Freda use C++ code, and so the app actually needs different packages for each processor architecture - whereas Book Bazaar is just a C# application, so a single generic package works across all architectures.
