The distinction is quite specific: a plugin is written in perl and runs in the perl interpreter in the server (whatever server that may be), an applet is written in Lua and runs in the Lua interpreter running on the player hardware.
In the case of the Touch both can be running on the same hardware. In general if you are talking to the hardware UI (displaying on the screen, getting button clicks etc) you are an applet, if you are dealing with playlists, searches etc you are a plugin. If you do both there will probably be BOTH an applet and a plugin talking to each other.
