Now that Google Apps will no longer have a free account, will we need to pay Google to be able to use custom domains on Google App Engine?

App Engine standard environment pricing. Apps in the standard environment have a free tier for App Engine resources. Any use of App Engine resources beyond the free tier incurs charges as described in this section.
You can use a custom domain for a site published on new Google Sites. Using a custom domain can make it easier for people to find and remember your site with a web address like www.yourdomain.com. To use a custom domain for your site, you can: Select a domain from your Google Domains account (if you have one).
[update 2015-09-28] Now Google lets you add custom domains and setup SSL without the need of Google Apps. For details refer to here: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/using-custom-domains-and-ssl?hl=en
Update...all the free lunch are over!

Actually, adding a custom domain on Google App Engine is a workaround to still get a free Google Apps account. I havn't tried, but according to this link it's working. You can try for yourself and see.
