Usually standalone means that the server needs nothing else to run it or there is only one server. Jboss standalone is for one server, but domain is for running multiple servers. See: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7UserGuide

If an application doesn't need a server to run it or anything else to run it, then it is standalone. So a webapp would not be standalone.
