Autohosted SharePoint Online App - Azure account needed? Deployment? Provisioning access?

Question

I developed/deployed a very simple autohosted app to SharePoint Online 2013 but has a URL that looks like this. Don't click on this link.

https://1e9a4afa-c77b-460e-3375a-8eded45c2200.o365apps.net/Pages/Default.aspx?SPHostUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwhatever%2Esharepoint%2Ecom%2Fsites%2Fdev&SPLanguage=en%2DUS&SPClientTag=2&SPProductNumber=16%2E0%2E1922%2E1221

Confused..

1. It never asked me for Azure account information, will I need one if I plan to run c# code?

2. How do I deploy this app to other site collections on SPO 2013 o365 and provision who in SPO can use it?

If you want to install app for your SharePoint Online you should add it to App Catalog or public SharePoint App Store.

If you don't want to sell your app use App Catalog here is info about that
