How to disable Windows 8 (WinRT) Lock Screen

This is how you do it on Windows Phone http://blog.jerrynixon.com/2011/11/mango-sample-lock-and-run.html

That is NOT how you do it Windows 8.

Is there a way to do it in Windows 8 apps, too?

Check out the Windows.System.Display.DisplayRequest class. The requestActive method allows you to keep the display active when it would otherwise be dimmed and turned off. Be sure to call requestRelease once for each time that you call requestActive so that the display can get back to its power-conscious behavior when you no longer need it to stay on.
