From past experience:

Many companies may classify a DBA as the person that administers the database and the Apps DBA to administer the applications that utilize that database.

The Apps DBA may be more of a glorified database developer with some DBA duties and understanding of how the database interacts or is utilized by the application (whether it be COTS or a local beast).

The DBA has more responsibility, usually more experience (this usually translates into higher pay as well) than Apps DBA.
