If i use the .apk file that is in the bin directory in the project in the workspace instead of generating the .apk by exporting the project does it make difference?

The apk file in the bin is signed using the debug key, which loses the benefit of signing your App. Your App should be signed using your own key (which is specified when you export the project) which kind of uniquely identify your Apps and protects (or tries to protect) your Apps from having someone alter your App and republish it. Also, when you upload an update for your App, it must be signed with the same key as the original App, so make sure to keep this key safe.
