That’s a separate thing. As far as I know, there’ll be no difference between third-party app stores installed via Google Play vs third-party app stores installed via APK in terms of the apps in the store itself.
IIRC they’re going to force verification for all apps but have an opt-out that you just need to do once, and wait 24 hours after enabling it.
There is real concern if they make it harder in the future but it’s the same as just enabling developer options which is pretty easy. The target audience is phishing scams and people who have no idea what they’re doing.
